Hundreds gather to watch the fireworks display over Lake Washington at Gasworks Park.

Chuckanut Drive

This long, winding drive hugs the coastline offering spectacular views of the San Juan Islands. Running past quaint shops, restaurants and B&B’s, it eventually enters open farmland. The old farmhouses and the shining pyramid of Mount Baker hovering in the background provoke a sense of nostalgia. For more information, visit Chuckanut Drive.
