It's just science, man. One beer is not getting 180lbs of male to 0.08%. Not gonna happen. If you test with 20 minutes or so, you'll get a false reading

Can’t tell if you’re trying to be funny or not, but I’ll reply for the benefit of everyone else.

Yes, localized rain does impact peak king tides. Puget Sound is fed by one inlet, the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The volume of water entering and exiting during tidal cycles is massive. If rainwater and its associated runoff is fed into the Sound at the same time as an incoming tide, the effect is amplified. Runoff simply cannot push against the sheer volume of water coming into the region.

Welcome! A few ideas that come to mind right away:

North: Port Townsend - cute, breweries, waterfront, historical attractions. Could take the ferry over to Coupeville on Whidbey Island and tour the fort that is right near the ferry dock. There are also lot of hiking opportunities on the way to PT in Olympic National Forest, but I would double check weather conditions first.

East - Bremerton for waterfront, breweries and historical attractions. Manchester State Park in Port Orchard might also check some boxes for you. If you go the long way through Union, you could do brunch at Alderbrook and feel fancy.

West - Ocean Shores or surrounding towns. You could also do a loop of the Olympic Peninsula and stop where it looks interesting. Would be a fairly full day though.

South - Olympia for breweries, or make it a whole day and go down to Mt St Helens and back. I like the Olympic Club in Centralia for a pit stop and it checks the historical attractions and breweries boxes.

Can also recommend the new Irish pub in Shelton. Went a couple weeks ago and it was excellent!
