What can I do in Seattle? Also, any camping tips for Olympic National Park?

Hi there! I'm visiting a friend who lives in the Seattle metro area next week (late May). I mentioned to my friend that I'd like to visit the Olympics; she suggested the possibility of camping there. I definitely want to check out the rain forest, but I want a good glimpse of the mountains. I'd say at the most, we'd be there for a weekend. Where are the good camping spots? How about hiking ideas (advanced beginner/moderate)? Would it be better to go to the Cascades? What kind of weather can I expect while roaming through the mountains? What about Seattle weather in general?

Also, what about things to do in the city? I plan on exploring the Space Needle and Pike Place (and Viretta Park, if I can persuade my friend to go visit some park benches with graffiti!), and of course consuming coffee! I know there is a lot to see and do in Seattle, but are there any "must sees" while there?

Thanks so much!
