Always Good Any Weekend

Things that are reliably great regardless of what else is happening — no dates needed.

Walk Ebey's Landing at sunset

The bluff trail above Ebey's Landing is one of the best free views in Washington. Show up an hour before sunset.

Beachcomb at low tide

Minus tides expose miles of shoreline. Timing it right makes all the difference.

Check the tide table

Browse the galleries in Langley

First Street has a concentration of genuine working artists. Walk in, ask questions, buy something small.

Penn Cove mussels at a waterfront restaurant

Grown right in the bay you can see from the table. Order them steamed and don't skip the bread for the broth.

Drive the back roads between Coupeville and Greenbank

Roll down the window, get off the highway, and take the farm roads through the middle of the island.

Visit Deception Pass State Park

Walk down to the beach, not just the bridge. The tide churning through the narrows is worth the short hike.

Check the ferry schedule and explore a new town

Ride the ferry back as a passenger, explore Clinton or Coupeville, and see the island from the water.
