La Conner

On the banks of the Swinomish Channel, this artist village is relaxed and inviting. Great dining options overlooking the water or high on a bluff feature farm-fresh ingredients. Wander along the boardwalk, and enjoy birds and sea life, as well as impressive boats moored along the way. Check out the Quilt and Fiber Arts Museum with their amazing exhibits, and enjoy live music in Gilkey Square on Sundays during the summer. Pick up unique gifts in the quaint shops. Stay at the Channel Lodge and just relax on your balcony and watch harbor seals, river otters, kingfishers and bald eagles
