Washington Park has a wealth of things to do in any weather. You can walk around the park on the two-mile road or you can take any of the many trails. If you want to drive, there are many places to stop along the way to see the view. There is a boat launch, camping, and picnic areas. This is a very well-maintained park and a real asset for Anacortes.

Love this place! We stayed for 3 nights while our ferry to Alaska was delayed. We had quite a bit of snow one night but they were very quick to remove it and make the road safe.

This is a great spot to visit for the day. Plenty of trails to explore. You can also camp here. There are little spots to park and then walk onto a grassy area overlooking the water. There’s a little rocky beach area as well that you can take steps down to.

Lovely scenic drive, nonstop takes about 30 minutes. But you have to stop! The view draws you in. Views sweeping over the sound, you can watch the ferries pass each other. Picnic tables in grassy outcroppings, and flush toilets at the start of the loop. Makes for a lovely day.
