I could not agree more! Whidbey Coffee is DELICIOUS (thank goodness they have so many locations!), and the Store's muffin selection is second to none! You could literally 'eeny-meeny-miny-mo' your muffin selection and end up with something incredible!
We're so glad to hear that, Misty! Thank you for sharing! Don't hesitate to reach out if you need any specific recommendations on all things Anacortes and Skagit County! :)
you could say the same thing for most of western Washington. I grew up in Poulsbo most all those things are a half hour to an hour car ride away, plus access to Seattle pretty easy. be prepared to sell a kidney to live here tho.
True! It's fascinating to explore what all the minute differences are of the various towns in this area. Anacortes definitely has it's own vibe - totally different from Stanwood, Oak Harbor, Langley, etc. But, on the whole, the quality of Western Washington is pretty darned high. :)
We totally get it - and the prices have especially gone up after covid! Fingers crossed that we have some price corrections in our future so that the town can become more affordable again!
You are totally right! It's a city park - that was a total booboo. It's amazing how many fabulous city parks we have on this island that appear to look like state parks! 😄
Definitely! There are multiple vantage points on the west side of the island where you could look for whales, but our highest recommendation would be to take a whale watching tour (there are MANY excellent companies out of Anacortes) for an up close and personal experience! Let us know if you'd like any whale watching expedition company recommendations!
@@leahcourage Hi, thanks for the response. We ended up going whale watching and it was a great time! Had two humpbacks circling our boat. Will be back again to see some orcas hopefully :)
You did a great job selling Anacortes. We are going there in 3 weeks and you gave us many wonderful ideas of things to do. Thanks.
We're thrilled that the video was helpful! Have a fabulous trip to Anacortes - and reach out if you need any specific recommendations! :)
Whidbey Coffee is awesome and the giant fresh baked muffins from The Store are worth every penny.

I recommend the WT Preston ship tour.
That's great to know! What was your experience like?
I recently moved to Anacortes and this video was very helpful!

Can’taffordtes is what the natives call it.

Sorry Washington Park is not a state park and is run by the City Of Anacortes.

Is it possible to see whales from any viewpoints there?
