Olympic is a 0.9-million-acre U.S. national park in Washington, established in 1938. It is known for a diverse wilderness of temperate rainforests, glacier-capped mountains, and wild Pacific coastline. TerraGreetings is actively designing printable greeting cards inspired by Olympic — printable at home or sendable as a digital share link.
Olympic is three parks in one — temperate rainforest at the Hoh, glacier-capped mountains at Hurricane Ridge, and wild Pacific coastline at Rialto Beach, all on Washington's Olympic Peninsula. Cards from this collection have a Pacific Northwest quietness to them, the kind that fits sympathy notes, thank-yous, and birthdays for the people who'd rather be in the rainforest than at brunch.
Cards in this collection draw on Olympic's signature visual language — Hoh Rainforest, Hurricane Ridge, Rialto Beach, the moss greens, ocean blues, and the summer and spring light the park is known for. They lean serene, adventurous, dark, which is a different feel than what most card aisles offer for pacific northwest regions. Wildlife appearances include Roosevelt Elk, Olympic Marmot, Bald Eagle.
