You have two options for getting to Whidbey! You can drive and take a short but beautiful ferry ride, or drive around the north end of the Island and arrive via a stunning historic bridge. Don’t want to drive? Simply fly into SeaTac airport and hop on a shuttle service directly to Clinton.

There are several wonderful options to enjoy your time on Whidbey. Here is a helpful link to narrow down your options.

"Everything about the day was wonderful. I loved meeting the guanacos and the goats.  I loved the lunch that I ordered from Pickles. As a beginning spinner I was quite nervous about this adventure but I felt very welcomed and Michael was so helpful and patient with my inexperience. I now have a foundation to improve on my spinning having learned how to spin using the woolen technique. I highly recommend this retreat."  Danni Rogers
