Whidbey Island. July 2025.
The islands in Puget Sound are some of my favorite places to visit in Washington — the scenic ferries, the quint towns, the hikes, summer flowers, peaceful tides, backyard blackberry picking, dreamy sunsets, and warm campfires on a cool evening. Island time is less about doing more and more about being present. Allowing you to breathe deeper, move slower, and rediscover the simple joys of life while taking in the beauty of God's creation.
