Guemes Island

A five minute ferry ride from Anacortes will transport you to a piece of Skagit County unlike any other. Guemes Island, knows the meaning of “island time”. The 15 miles of paved roads on the island are traveled lightly by the annual population of 800. Upon arrival, you will be met by the Guemes Island General Store and Café. The only other commercial establishment is the Guemes Island Resort, on the north end of the island. Whether you are driving, walking, running or taking a leisurely bike ride around this island, you will be greeted with friendly waves by the locals. Before you know it, you will be the one initiating the greeting. The island is 8 square miles in size, with rolling hills, incredible views in every direction and two prominent parks. Schoolhouse Park is located directly in the middle of the island and includes covered picnic tables, playground equipment and a soccer field. Young’s Park is located on the northeast tip of the island, with thousands of feet of shoreline to explore.
MUST SEE!
Rock climbing is already a popular hobby – one of the fastest growing sports in the country. Did you know it’s joining the summer Olympics? Don’t get left behind!
Sign up for an outdoor rock climbing class,no experience is necessary. The heart of rock climbing is outdoors, on real rock and it’s here in our backyards in Skagit at Mt. Erie. It’s an opportunity you want to experience at least once.
