Peninsula: First lady keeps low profile during visit

PORT ANGELES — First lady Laura Bush is continuing a personal vacation to Olympic National Park.

Sources say the first lady is spending about a week in the area to hike with friends within the park.

One person spotted apparent Secret Service agents on the far east end of the Red Lion Hotel and CrabHouse Restaurant on Sunday morning. They were apparently preparing an area for dining.

Another person spotted agents apparently readying vehicles outside the restaurant a short time later Sunday afternoon.

Red Lion officials would not comment on whether Mrs. Bush stayed at the waterfront hotel.
