Have you tried shothotspots.com? Sometimes it can be of help in narrowing down locations.

You need more than five days to really see the area’s sights, based on my experience in that area in 2014. The drive time to get around the area will take big chunk out of your sightseeing time. We took 10 days to tour the Olympic peninsula, eastern shore of Puget Sound, Mt. Rainier, and Mt. Saint Helens.

My wife and I had visited more than 20 National Parks, and Hurricane Ridge was her favorite.

Seattle itself is worth at least one day. Pike st. market is a must and I'd recommend a trip up the Columbia Tower, the highest viewpoint in the City.

Then take either the Bremerton,Bainbridge, or Kingston ferry(whichever you're nearer) across to the Kitsap Peninsula. From there make your way North stopping along the way where time permits. Poulsbo is a quaint little town on the water with lots of good eateries. A drive out to Point no Point lighthouse will offer views of Seattle & Mt. Rainier across the water on a clear day. Cross the Hood canal bridge, check out Port Gamble first if you have time, and I like to take the first right after the bridge and meander my way through Port Ludlow to Marrowstone Island and Fort Flagler. It's a bit of a detour but beautiful views across the water, better than Point no Point. From there you can decide to either explore the Peninsula to the West, or take the Port Townsend ferry to coupeville on Whidbey Island. To the West I'd recommend the Dundeness Spit in Sequim and farther out the beach at La Push is lovely. If you choose to continue across Whidbey You'll come to Deception Pass, a definite photo op. If time permits,(doubtful) head to Anacortes and take the ferry to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island. FridayHarbor itself is a bit of a tourist trap but if you have a car the island beautiful and a nice day trip to circumvent. The ferries offer the best views and I'd recommend as many as possible if the weather is nice. So there are a few ideas. Enjoy!

Take the ferry from Bremerton to Seattle and time it to arrive as the sun sets in the west. The cityscape is tremendous. Take the widest lens you can.

This book is an excellent resource:

For the classic view of Seattle and the space needle go to Kerry Park on Queen Anne Hill.
Pike Place Market is best early in the morning (first light) before it gets crowded.
Gig Harbor has a nice view of Mt. Rainier with the harbor in the foreground.

Here's a few of my shots from the area.

I agree that more days would be needed but I’ll have to do with what I have. There is always the next time to continue. Thanks.

My wife and I just came back from there. Stayed in Port Angeles four nights. Went up to Hurricane Ridge to get sunset photos. First two evenings were socked in with clouds. Third night, clouds, temperature went down to 34, and there was wind and snow. Last night, got great sunset.
Then on to Forks for four days. you MUST take in Rialto Beach and Ruby Beach for the sea stacks.
Finally, we went to Hoh Rainforest. There has been a drought, and I was not at all impressed. Most exciting thing I saw was a six inch long banana slug. Meh.
Any way you do it, have fun!

Take a ferry ride to/from Victoria, BC. The route thru the San Juan islands is spectacular
