Cheery breakfast & lunch cafe with outstanding food (Try anything with the fried chicken!).

Washington is one of world's best places to see wild orcas. Unfortunately there are no whale/wildlife tours that depart from the southern half of Whidbey Island, but tours depart from Anacortes (1.5 hr away from Langley) twice daily at 10:00am and 3:30pm. We strongly recommend reserving your spot early so you don't miss out!

Anacortes

Anacortes is about an hour away from Langley, but if you are staying on Washington for a few days, it's worth the trip. Most of the shops and restaurants are located on Commercial Street. Some of our favorite things here include Watermark Book Company, ELizabeth's Cottage by the Sea, and sandwiches from GERE-a-DELI. Anacortes also has a ferry that goes to the San Juan Islands.
