Whidbey Island: Top 10 Romantic Retreat

Whidbey Island was selected as one of the Top 10 Most Romantic Retreats by Coastal Living Magazine. Nice to see the magazine had visited out our way.

The article by Allen B. Bunting said:
“Stress starts to melt away as you step off the ferry onto this Washington island, just one hour north of Seattle. Rich in natural beauty, Whidbey Island is also home to picturesque towns and romantic B&Bs. Spend the day in Langley (for a special treat, pick up a picnic for two from the Chef’s Pantry). Journeying north, drop by Greenbank Farms for wine and cheese before climbing the Admiralty Head Lighthouse for a gorgeous view of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Toast to your travels at the new Frasers Gourmet Hideaway in Oak Harbor.”
