Meet Me At the Village By the Sea

A south whidbey Meeting Itinerary

After the work is done, you’ll have lots of play to choose from!

Imagine you and your group starting the morning by peacefully gliding across beautiful Puget Sound aboard one of Washington State’s much-loved ferries.

Unlike other routes Whidbey Island has crossings every thirty minutes from nearby Mukilteo, and the ride itself is only about fifteen minutes, so you get all the charm without the inconvenience.

Once you disembark on the island side, it’s only a ten-minute drive to the quaint and historic town of Langley, Whidbey Island’s “Village by the Sea”.

If you’re looking for beautiful rooms under the same roof as desirable meeting facilities, Langley has you covered! The Inn at Langley has been named one of the top 500 hotels in the world by Travel & Leisure magazine, and it’s situated right on the main street in town. Their boutique meeting room comfortably accommodates twenty people, with sweeping views of Saratoga Passage for inspiration. The Saratoga Inn is another desirable downtown option, with views of the water and Cascade Mountains, accompanied by freshly baked afternoon snacks for your group.

After the work is done, you’ll have lots of “play” to choose from! Downtown has great options such as Prima Bistro, Saltwater, Savory, and The Braeburn.

The only dilemma you’ll face is how to spend your afternoon, with so many great choices within easy walking distance of your accommodation. Maybe a group activity, such as a paddle in the Sound with Whidbey Island Kayaking, or interacting with professional glassblowers at Callahan’s Firehouse Studio and Gallery. Maybe you’d like to split away from the group for a while, and do some shopping in Langley’s many boutique shops and galleries, or sip a libation at the local wine-tasting room or brewery.

One thing is for sure, this little seaside town is bursting with options to keep everyone entertained. You may find yourself planning your next trip before you’ve even left!
