You could always go out to the Olympic Peninsula. Take the ferry to
Bainbridge Island then buses out to Port Angeles. I did a cross the
Peninsula walk last April from Port Angeles to Lake Quinalt, from
where you can take a bus back to Port Angeles. Good for a several
day getaway. Just anticipate plenty of snow over Low Divide and
possibly down the other side. Longer options are of course possible
but I found that meant a lot of snow.
Another option out there without the snow would be a coastal walk.
The same bus originating at Lake Quinalt makes stops at several
locations on the coast convenient for pickup dropoff to the trail.
I'm in Portland now but may be back in Seattle the second half of
March. I was thinking of heading that way for a hike myself.
