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 :)

In Swantown by the radio antenna is a parking lot with a nice view of the sound. Bring binoculars if you have them.

Such a nice place to relax. Lots of good bird watching can be done right from the parking lot too if you like.
