Hidden gem eats
The Scone Lady: a must-stop before the tulips, with a near-perfect 98% recommendation rate. Just don't wait 'til after the flowers. She often sells out.
Rhody Cafe: a cozy, unpretentious, farm-to-table atmosphere known for locally sourced seafood like Penn Cove mussels and fresh salmon.
Nell Thorn: an elevated, farm-to-table experience with sunset views over the Swinomish Channel—a favorite for those looking to "dress up" for dinner.
Snow Goose Produce: a roadside gem for massive ice cream cones and fresh local seafood to take back to the city.

Scenic drive
Chuckanut Drive: a scenic trip back from the flowers, our custom audio guide directs you off I-5 onto this cliffside route for panoramic views of the San Juan Islands.
