I did this trail a few years ago, was an utterly amazing experience. We did the route backwards, going north to south. I brought some really good cameras with me and the weight was 100% worth it, the shots I got on that trip still hang on my wall to this day.

We were very lucky weather wise, it did not rain the entire trip, which as others say, is not typical. The ladders, oh man, very terrifying as someone with a fear of heights. Some of them lean fucking backwards, so your pack and body weight try to pull you off the cliffside…
The crab spot near the middle is amazing. Everyone does stop there, how can you say no to crab and beer after hiking 25 miles?
The Juan de Fuca trail that is next door is also one of my top favorite hikes, though I have never been able to finish it as we got rained out both times - once in scouts, once in a group of friends - the trail slid away and we could not physically continue each time.
I don't think its strange (in fact, its probably really opportune, talk about a captured audience from a business perspective), I'm curious about how big it is, the layout etc.
It’s actually fairly decently sized, probably like 10ish tables outside on the deck?
It’s got two smallish buildings If I recall correctly? All built over the water on a pier. And yeah it’s in an estuary so they just bring all the non fished food in by boat every few days.
Thats so cool. Its like a goal in of itself to look forward to when you are hiking around like this. Can people stay nearby? I'd kill for a regular breakfast on a hike like this
