On Island Time Whidbey Island may be close to Seattle, but it feels a world away written by Jean Chen Smith
WITH ITS IDYLLIC green landscape, Whidbey Island lies approximately 30 miles north of Seattle between the Olympic Peninsula and the SeattleMetro corridor of western Washington. Off the beaten track and offering a slower pace than the San Juan Islands, Whidbey’s terrain is diverse—offering access to beaches, rolling hills and farmland. The northern stretch of the island is anchored by the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, where jets can be heard zooming across the sky throughout the day. As you navigate to the central and southern parts of the island, you will find boutiques, art galleries and farm-to-table dining experiences. Easily accessible by ferry and perfect for a long weekend escape, pack your bags to discover this coastal allure for yourself.
Day BIRD SANCTUARY • BISTRO • THEATER Head out early and take the ferry at the Mukilteo Terminal. Once on Whidbey, begin exploring in the town of Langley, also known as the village by the sea. Take a drive to Earth Sanctuary, a 72-acre nature reserve and sanctuary for birds and other wildlife. Founder Chuck Pettis created the space to offer a sacred place for peace, renewal and spiritual connection, and it includes reflective ponds, megalithic sacred spaces, sculptures, a labyrinth, a Native American medicine wheel and an authentic Buddhist stupa. Earth Sanctuary is open to visitors every day of the year during daylight hours, and costs $7 per person. 80 1889 WASHINGTON’S MAGAZINE
