Riding the Clinton-Mukilteo ferry is old hat for many, but for those who stop to look, they’ll get a wonderful reminder of how beautiful this place is.
Our Best Beach This Month:
North Beach
North Beach is part of the expansive beach on the south side of Deception Pass west of the bridge. It’s scenic, accessible, and very popular.

For cyclists who enjoy the wind in their hair, cycling Island County’s farmland flats, hair-raising downhills and technical mountain biking trails is sure to please. Just a short hop off of I-5, Camano Island is known…

Only Humbled
I put this first on our Facebook page, but I wanted to share these thoughts about the people around Oso here, as well. And, I wanted to encourage you to plan a visit there when the time is right.

Winter on the Cascade Loop
Whidbey Island is part of Washington’s Cascade loop, and a drive through part of the loop as nature plays “gently” is a thought-provoking and enchanting drive.
