I cannot tell you about the Elwha, though I can tell you that the area is
very pretty with lots of old growth forest. It is supposed to have the
highest biomass per unit area in the world (heard from an environmentalist
up there)! I'm reserving judgement for now. Make sure you bring good
raingear because you will probably get wet. The blue glacier beneath
Mt. Olympus is very interesting. It reminds me of the Athabasca Glacier
at the Columbia Icefields in the Canadian Rockies because the runout
is long and flat.

And now, for a little anecdote. A friend of a friend here
decided that he wanted to go somewhere where no one had ever been
before here in the Northwest. So he and his buddy figured the most
likely chance of that would be in the Olympics. They pulled out a
map and pegged the most remote lake they could find.
Off they went. No trail, just several days of bushwacking
through the forest. At long last, they arrived at the edge of the
lake. And there, on the other side, in a natural clearing, stood...
a brand new porta-potty! Crushed, they approached and inspected it.
It seemed fully functional and unused. There was no trail to it,
nor any sign of humans in the area.
They returned to their campsite for the night, on the
opposite side of the lake. Next morning, they awoke to the sound
of a chopper. It came in, and without alighting, snatched the
outhouse and left.
Our friends finished the rest of the trip in isolation,
disappointed, needless to say. Afterwards, curiosity getting the
better of them, they inquired at the ranger station. Well, it
turned out that the flying WC had been destined for a high usage
lake, but the pilot had delivered it to the wrong one. He was
just returning to fix the mistake.
