Things To Do
Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort
Food, games, and late night entertainment. You may catch the bride and groom there after the wedding if you stay up late enough.
Tulalip Casino
Another casino close by for late night activities. There is a shopping center around the casino with restaurants and stores.
Boulder River Trail
This is a beautiful waterfall hike near Arlington. This does require a vehicle that can go on really bumpy dirt roads. The hike itself is fairly flat and moderate in difficulty. Find more information on AllTrails.
Mount Erie (Hike/Viewpoint)
A 55 minute drive from Arlington. Beautiful hike with flowers in June (can drive to the top to skip the hike). One of Casey and Paul's favorites. You can also stop in Anacortes afterwards at Calico Cupboard for a post-hike brunch.
Bellingham
A 55 minute drive from Arlington. Where Paul and Casey currently live. Many hikes in the surrounding area (Oyster Dome and Fragrance Lake are favorites) as well as many breweries and restaurants. Little Cheerful for brunch, Black Cat for dinner, Southside for cocktails, or Gruff for a beer are a few of many favorites. Explore the cute town of Fairhaven, shop at the downtown Bellingham farmers market, take a stroll on the boardwalk, have a beach picnic at Marine Park, or take some beautiful waterfall pictures at Whatcom Falls. There is so much to do - reach out for more recommendations!
La Conner (Coastal Town)
A 40 minute drive from Arlington. This coastal town is adorable and a frequent visit for Paul and Casey. Explore shops, order fresh seafood, and from local bakeries.
Pike Place Market
If you have time to kill in Seattle then definitely go to Pike's Place Market. Fish markets, boutiques, clothes, and plenty of snacks. Casey recommends getting a honey stick while Paul would recommend standing in line for a pirogi at Piroshky Piroshky.
Washington Park Arboretum
Casey grew up going to the UW Arboretum with her mom and this is one place where her love for nature started. Take a stroll in the beautiful park!
Chihuly Garden and Glass
If you are spending extra time in Seattle, this museum is beautiful and a great way to see the Seattle Center.
Mount Rainier National Park
Mount Raineer is a stunning Seattle classic if you are extending your time in Seattle and want an adventure. There are a number of hikes for all levels. Feel free to reach out for more information.
Olympic National Park Visitor Center
If you want an extended trip in Washington, have time, and are a nature lover, Olympic National Park is beautiful -full of beaches, mountains, lakes, and rain forests. Lake Crescent is one of Paul and Casey's favorites!
