A stunning day trip from Seattle, this historical reserve on Whidbey Island was home to the Skagit Indians, who had permanent villages on the shores of Penn Cove from as early as 1300. By 1790 there were more than 1,500 Native Americans living there. Most would be displaced by the Donation Land Law of 1850, which would bring a flood of homesteaders looking for free land in Oregon Territory. Today the reserve offers an intriguing mix of history and nature – great for biking, hiking and birdwatching. Pets are welcome.

Ebey's Landing

We went hiking on the Bluff Trail at Ebey's Landing Park on Whidbey Island. It's a beautiful trail right on the beach.
