Wasell Gardens is located in the village of Brinnon, nestled at the foot of the spectacular Olympic range with glacier-clad Mt. Constance and Mt. Jupiter most prominent behind the town which is situated along beautiful Hood Canal. Along the beaches of the glacially-formed Hood Canal, you can dig for world famous clams and oysters

The area is home to the popular Dosewallips State Park and Campgrounds, and within 2 miles of the sportsboat marina and other water facilities at Pleasant Harbor -- as well as many other popular parks and hiking trails serving as a gateway into the Olympics and adjacent foothills. Also nearby is popular Camp Parsons, a premier Boy Scouts of America campground -- and just a short drive down the Hood Canal is the recreational area at Lake Cushman with its boating and 18-hole golf course.

Brinnon area is home to a resident herd of Roosevelt elk, numbering more than 100 animals at present. The herd is frequently seen in and around the town, park and campground areas year-round. Other Olympic Peninsula area wildlife includes waterfowl of many varieties, both bald and golden eagles, otters, deer, beavers, mink and martins, wild rabbits, and an occasional cougar.
