Whidbey Island

Reached by ferry from Mukilteo or by the bridge at Deception Pass, depending on which way round we build the day.

2h 30m on the ground 60 min each way from downtown

Coupeville is one of Washington's oldest towns, with a wharf out over Penn Cove and mussel rafts below it. Ebey's Landing, just west, is a national historical reserve — a bluff trail over prairie that farmers have worked since the 1850s, with the Olympics across the strait.

Done as a loop — ferry one way, Deception Pass bridge the other — it is a full day and one of the best in the region.

What our drivers would tell you

  • Penn Cove mussels are farmed a hundred yards from where you eat them.
  • The full loop needs eight hours. Cut it to Coupeville only and six will do.
