Anacortes

There’s Lake Washington Park, where you can see the San Juans, and nearby is Deception Pass, which is pretty cool. But mostly the best thing was this “country store” that sells the BESTMUFFINS ON THEFACE OF THEPLANET. And I’m not traditionally a muffin fan… every bite was good, and wasn’t just the muffin top… we even left half in the car, came back later, and it was still moist and delicious. Every day has different flavors… I had a “vanilla mocha” muffin, my friend had a “maui” one, and my cousin did a “camamel chocolate” one. Go out of your way for this!

I was there for whale watching. Orcas were swimming just near our boat. I also saw harbour seals and eagles. It goes near to Deception Pass too.

You can see some “brown eyed rock sausages”, as our guide called seals, in the photo.

We stayed at the Anaco Inn on our way through to the San Juans. The hotel was fantastic for the price. I wanted to explore the town a little more, and did not have time to do so. Definitely want to go back and see what is in store.

My grandparents live here. I visit them once a month or so. It’s so beautiful up here

and it was a rather great place. Small town, kind people, good history and the ferry can take you quickly to other amazingly beautiful islands nearby. The San Juan Islands are gorgeous.
