Whidbey Island Scenic Isle Way

A world away, but only an hour out of downtown Seattle, city-escapees will reunite with relaxation, whether for a weekend or a lifetime.

The Whidbey Island Scenic Isleway is painted with lovely seaside towns, famous Penn-cove mussels, art galleries and deluxe accommodations. Here, it's easy to forget the sound of traffic and cell phones.

Isleway communities have worked hard to maintain their rural historic charm with turn-of-the-century military outposts, lighthouses, historic working farms, Victorian homes, bald eagles, and the sights, sounds and aroma of the sea.
