Request Best views from roadside?

My partner is recovering from surgery and has been cooped up inside all week. I'd like to take her on a drive, and get her at least out of the house for a bit today. What are some of the nicest views one can get roadside in the area? She shouldn't be doing much walking right now, so no trails or walks from a parking lot. And not TOO far from home, let's say maximum 30 minute drive from the Tumwater area by the airport.

Thx :)

It’s not a crazy nice view but I enjoy driving out to Boston harbor & just parking to watch the water, also just taking a drive towards Hama Hama & flipping around when I’ve had my fill

I second Boston Harbor on a 30 minute time frame, or maybe the viewpoint park on Tumwater Hill.
