Travel Note

Travel to the Jewell Cabin

Once on the island its about a 5 mile drive to the wedding site. Our wedding shuttle will transport to and from the ferry dock and around the island (see the travel note on the wedding shuttle). If you are coming from out of town, you may want to rent a car or carpool from the airport. Anacortes is pretty rural and though there is a bus system (https://www.skagittransit.org/) it is not very robust or quick. Call us for some ideas if you are trying to avoid renting a car. You can usually find cheap car rentals at the Seattle Airport. Check out this link to tour Guemes Island, Anacortes, and the San Juans by satellite!

A cool, rustic "resort" on Guemes Island about 1.5 miles from the Jewell Cabin, where you can rent cabins and even yurts!
