Anacortes Farmer's Market
For your Saturday morning, we recommend a stop at the local farmers market for local fare and wares. A true Pacific Northwest treat!
Island Adventures Whale Watching
For those of you with extended stays in the area or late departures on Sunday, we recommend taking advantage of a local whale watching tour departing from Anacortes. The calm waters near the San Juan Islands are one of the best places in the world to view wild orcas. Humpback whales, minke whales, and gray whales also call the region home. Book 30-days in advance for a special discount on tickets - details on their website.

See all of Anacortes and the surrounding area by bike. It's an excellent way to take in the scenery!

There are several kayak tour options in the area, including half and full day options. Experience the abundance of wildlife in this area, including seals and Orcas, up close.
Hiking in Deception Pass & More
There are a number of local parks and hiking trails in the area. A top attraction is Deception Pass State Park, with a variety of hiking trails and breathtaking vistas. Closer to Anacortes, we also recommend Cap Sante Park for an easy walking trail with excellent 360 views of the marina and Padilla Bay. Additional parks and trails nearby include the Washington Park with views of the San Juan Islands and Mount Erie Park for scenic trails and mountain views.
