Our Story

We will be assigning rooms, so no need to worry about booking on your own. Once we have all of the RSVPs on April 1st, we will send out booking links. Check in at 3pm on Friday the 29th and check out 11am on Sunday the 31st. Captain Whidbey Website:

1. After landing at SEA-TAC (Seattle - Tacoma International Airport) drive North on I-5 for about 40–50 minutes to the Mukilteo Ferry Terminal. ***You can choose to fly into Paine Field Airport, which is a smaller airport in Everett. It is only a 10 minute drive to The Mukilteo Ferry Terminal. 2. We highly recommend renting a car from the airport to get to the venue, if feasible. It will be cheaper than Uber/Lyfts, which are very hard to come by on the island, making it difficult to get to the venue from the Clinton Ferry Terminal without a car. 3. Purchase ferry tickets at the window at Mukilteo Ferry Terminal (buying ahead is usually not necessary). 4. Board the ferry, which you can drive or walk onto. Ferry departs every 30 minutes from 5 a.m. to midnight. 5. Enjoy the 20-minute scenic ride. 6. Arrive at the Clinton Ferry Terminal. 7. After the Clinton Ferry continue on SR-525 as it becomes&nbsp;SR-20 N&nbsp;northward up Whidbey Island.&nbsp;Follow SR-20 N through Langley and onward toward Coupeville. 8. Arrive at Captain Whidbey Inn. Ferry Schedule:
