I’m a photographer by trade, but originally from the Midwest, so when I say I like to hike, it’s probably not as extreme as most hikers here in the PNW. My hikes usually involve a long car rides, ( with great music) an enjoyable hike carrying 9mm ammo, and photography along the way, then maybe a packed lunch or a stop somewhere to try a new local place along the way.

This is Lighthouse Point. It is located on the North side of the Deception Pass bridge, look for the Bowman Bay sign at the first left over the bridge. (heading north on Whidbey Island coming from the ferry) If you get to the lake that runs right next to the road on the left, you went too far. Follow the signs for Bowman Bay and you will end up in a parking lot with a large field next to hit. A discover Pass is required here, so be prepared!

This hike will give you, beaches that disappear with the tides, cliffs, an island, views of the bridge, and the sound, marsh lands, small amounts of elevation, all on an easy to navigate pathway. Did I mention that this is a loop hike? (I love loop hikes, no worries about getting lost in the woods lol)  I hope you enjoy the photos and I’m looking forward to my next adventure!

Outdoor photography usually isn’t my thing, however I had a great time!! The pictures below are from The Hoh Rainforest, (one of three rainforests in WA) and also Hurricane Ridge in Port Angeles. Its always great to have visitors here in the Pacific Northwest.  I hop you enjoy the images as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Poulsbo, WA is a joyful hour and a half from Downtown Seattle that includes a great ferry ride too. Its great little shops, and mom and pop restaurants just add the perfect amount of interest. This dog friendly community even puts food and water dishes out in front of most establishments for our furry little friends. Nestled on the waterfront, Poulsbo has something for everyone.

Its fun for the entire family, with scenic views of Downtown, Mt Rainier, the Cascade Mountains, and The Olympic Peninsula. Most of the ferry’s run all day and all evening. With several decks for your viewing pleasure, you have your choice of staying in your car, standing outside on the upper deck, sitting inside maybe enjoying a snack from the cafe, or all of the above!!
