Olympic National Park is beautiful in June. There are waterfalls, beaches, rainforests, and mountains. For a great hike, I recommend Mount Storm King. For an easy backpacking trip, Shi Shi beach, but get a permit from the ranger station first. You can also take whale watching trips out of Port Angeles.

UPDATE: Johnston Ridge Observatory is closed for the remainder of 2023 due to a mudslide. Mt Saint Helens and the Johnston Ridge Observatory is a fun day trip and the stars are beautiful at night from there.

Paradise, Mt Rainier National Park

Unfortunately, June is a little bit too early to be able to visit most of the higher elevation areas snow-free, including Mt Rainier. However, the Paradise part of Mt Rainier might be visitable as it usually is by July. Check conditions beforehand.

Summit House Restaurant / Crystal Mountain

For views of Mt Rainier (on a clear enough day) without dealing with hiking or June snow, you can take a scenic gondola ride up to Summit House restaurant at Crystal Mountain.
