Day 37: 7.1 planned walking miles to Triton Cove State Park. Check current park access; the accessible boat launch does not describe the accessibility of the walking leg.

The planned 7.1-mile stage reaches Triton Cove State Park. Its 555 feet of shoreline form a small public access point along Hood Canal.

Triton Cove State Park is a day-use park on Hood Canal south of Brinnon. Washington State Parks lists 555 feet of shoreline and describes the boat launch as ADA-accessible. The launch brings people to the water along this short stretch of public shore.

The park’s scale is part of its character. Compared with the long fjord around it, this is a short stretch of publicly managed shore. It belongs to the series of water-facing places in the Hood Canal chapter, each with its own arrangements for access and use.

The itinerary assigns 7.1 planned walking miles from Brinnon, then 12.7 miles onward to Lilliwaup. The two stages continue along the canal’s western side toward Potlatch and the Great Bend.

Choose where you live

Continue to the official registry that serves you. It decides eligibility, handles registration and contacts you if you may match a patient.

United States — NMDP

NMDP accepts new registry members who are 18 to 35, live in the US, its territories or freely associated states, can meet NMDP’s health guidelines, and are not already registered through another US organization. Joining happens at home: you answer a few questions on NMDP’s site, they mail you a free cheek-swab kit, and you swab and send it back. Once you are a member you stay listed until you are 61 unless you ask to be removed — 61 is when NMDP takes you off, not an age at which you can join. NMDP makes the final eligibility decision.
