- Explore the Washington coast by ferry.
- Visit a museum dedicated to whales.
- Watch the sunset over a lighthouse.
Western Washington's coastal islands are truly spectacular. Visiting places like the San Juans, Whidbey Island, and Fidalgo Island could take up many trips. For this quick overnight, you're going to see as much as you can. You'll drive north on I-5 and take the ferry to Friday Harbor. On your way home the next day, you'll omit I-5 and drive down along the string of islands.
Along the way, you'll visit State Parks, lighthouses, and plenty of good restaurants. Keep your eyes peeled; you may even see some whales.
