Imagine you and your group beginning your morning gliding peacefully across beautiful Puget Sound aboard one of Washington state’s most popular ferries.
Unlike other itineraries, Whidbey Island departs from nearby Mukilteo every thirty minutes, and the trip itself takes only about fifteen minutes, so you get all the delights without the inconvenience.
Once you get off the side of the island, it only takes ten minutes to reach the quaint historic town of Langley, the “village by the sea” on Whidbey Island.
If you’re looking for beautiful accommodations under one roof with desirable meeting rooms, Langley has you covered! Travel & Leisure magazine named the Inn at Langley one of the top 500 hotels in the world. It is located right on Main Street in the city. Their boutique meeting room comfortably accommodates twenty people, and it has stunning views of the Saratoga Strait. The Saratoga Inn is another desirable downtown option, with views of the water and the Cascade Mountains, accompanied by freshly baked lunches for your group.
Once the work is done, you’ll have plenty of games to choose from! Why not start at the farm for lunch at Stray Radishes? They can come to you with a delicious meal of fresh local produce, or you can visit them in their great event space just ten minutes from downtown. If you have a big meeting, this place can accommodate 90-150 people depending on the season and includes a speakeasy-style gastropub located in a restored airplane hangar! A very creative and inspiring space offering gourmet food that will make your company happy.
The only dilemma you’ll face is how to spend your day, since so many great options are within walking distance of your accommodation. It could be a group activity, like rafting the Sound with kayaking on Whidbey Island or blowing your own glass at the Firehouse Glass Gallery. Maybe you’d like to get away for a while and shop at Langley’s many boutiques and galleries or have an adult beverage at a local tasting room or brewery.
One thing is for sure, this small seaside town is full of opportunities to entertain everyone. You may find yourself planning your next trip before you even leave!
