Camano Island
Whidbey Island and Camano Island of Island County, Washington offer an easygoing vacation just an hour from Seattle, located on the northwestern tip of Washington State. The islands are nestled just miles from each other, between the Cascade Mountains to the east, the Olympics to the west and just south/southwest of Anacortes and the San Juans, where the waters of the Pacific are ushered through the Straits of Juan De Fuca and into Puget Sound.

Located northwest of Seattle, a relaxing island vacation is closer than you might think. With ferry and bridge connections close to the Seattle metropolitan area, you can reach either island in under an hour. Accessible and beautiful, getting to Whidbey and Camano Islands is a scenic part of your vacation trip, however you get there. Nevertheless, both islands are closer to Seattle than the San Juan Islands and require less ferry and drive time in transit. Both islands are accessible easily by bridge. Whidbey is accessible by two Washington State Ferry routes. Camano Island is accessed by bridge, rather than ferry. Additional information can be found at the website for Island Country Tourism, www.WhidbeyCamanoIslands.com or calling toll-free 888.747.7777. The Camano Island Chamber of Commerce www.camanoisland.org can also provide additional information.

Coupeville
The following is provided by the Central Whidbey Island Chamber of Commerce.
Picturesque Coupeville, known for its numerous festivals and historic downtown is located on the scenic waters of Penn Cove. Average rainfall on Central Whidbey Island is significantly less than the Seattle area because of the `rain shadow' effect of the Olympic Mountains. The pleasant temperatures enjoyed year round make it a wonderful place to live or to visit. Coupeville is the Island County Seat and home to the Island County Historical Society Museum. Founded in 1852, the 1,700 resident town features numerous art galleries, restaurants, lodgings and a variety of shops, all locally owned. The Coupeville Wharf is the oldest standing wharf in Puget Sound, located on the beautiful waters of Penn Cove. Located in the heart of Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve, Coupeville residents ensure the town maintains its historic character which provides a glimpse into Nineteenth Century life. Established in l978, the 17,000-acre Reserve is highlighted by breathtaking views of Ebey’s Prairie, Puget Sound and both the Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges. It encompasses three state parks and is laced with easy trails and clear vistas. Additional information can be found by visiting their website at www.centralwhidbeychamber.com.

Oak Harbor
The following is provided by the Greater Oak harbor Chamber of Commerce.
 In 1850 the Irish began to settle into the Oak Harbor area with the Dutch following in the 1890's. In 1941 the U.S. Navy began to establish its presence near Oak Harbor. Since then the growth and changes of mission of the Naval Air Station, along with the economic growth of the Northwest Washington, changed the quiet country town of 600 into a beautiful waterfront community of over 20,000. Oak Harbor's small town flavor continues to be displayed in the numerous annual celebrations. The Irish paint the town green in March, and the Dutch fill the town with tulips the last weekend of April during the annual Holland Happening celebration. Patriotism soars and flags abound on the 4th of July celebrating the strong alliance between the community and the Navy. Whidbey Island Race Week, held each year in July, has been rated among the top 20 yachting regattas in the world. When visiting Oak Harbor don't miss our old downtown, the original commercial center of Oak Harbor, where historic turn-of-the century buildings, parks, a full service marina, and beaches are enhanced by panoramic views of the Cascade Range and the Olympic Mountains. Visit www.oakharborchamber.org for additional information.

Eight kinds of plants and five kinds of animals are found on the peninsula and live nowhere else in the world.

Seattle

The following was provided by the Seattle Convention and Visitors Bureau - www.visitseattle.org
Seattle is anything but ordinary. It's a place where bike messengers share elevators with world-renowned researchers. Where fishermen have lunch alongside top surgeons. It's a city where the extraordinary is commonplace and commonplace is anything but. And if you look closely, you just might discover that in Seattle there are amazing things happening all around you.

From a jet engine to an espresso machine to grunge rock, Seattle's world-changing events have all had a distinct sound. But the symphony doesn't end there. Your visit to Seattle may bring you the sound of an orca blowing as it surfaces, the roar of the crowd at Safeco Field or the near silence of the Olympic rainforest. Come to Seattle and hear for yourself.
