On Whidbey Island, time slows and becomes more intentional. You feel it the moment you step off the ferry or cross the high arches of Deception Pass. The air, with its coastal blend of salty spray mixed with a fresh, earthy fragrance, carries a distinct, intoxicating scent, encouraging you to take a deeper breath.
Once on the island, you will feel worlds away, even though this is an easy jaunt from the frantic hum of the city. A short but scenic ride on the Mukilteo ferry is all that stands between you and a weekend that nourishes both the palate and the planet.
