Drove an hour North of Bothel to Anacortes which is at the Eastern edge of the San Juan Islands. The old historic part of town was very nice and overflowing with hanging baskets of flowers on the streets. From Anacortes went South crossing the bridge over Deception Pass onto Whidbey Island. Continued South on the Island through Oak Harbor and then to Coupeville which had dozens of sailboats out on Skagit Bay. Coupevelle is a cute little town know for their Penn Cove Mussels so we stopped for lunch at Christtofer’s and had clam chowder and split a large bowl of outstanding mussels .
Then from Coupeville drove South to Langley and walked around town before driving to Clinton for the ferry to Mulkiteo completing our all day loop.
