IR - Buck creek campground on the Suiattle river road would be a good place to do the things you mentioned. It's fairly primitive, not crowded and you could drink the water in the creek. (above the campground of course) There's hiking, fishing for dollies and just general exploring to do. Great place to just relax and it's only about an hour and a half from Kirkland.
