Recently got back from a trip in Washington and had an amazing time. Being from Florida, I'm always looking for ways to get away from the heat and humidity. Visiting family is Washington was the perfect way to do this. I highly recommend visiting Marrowstone Island for yourself and immersing yourself in the Mountain lifestyle.
Located in the Olympic Peninsula, you are surrounded by 360 degree mountain views and are provided with gorgeous golden sunsets every evening. Travel about 20 minutes northwest of the Island, and you run into Port Townsend - the perfect old style downtown shopping area with boutiques located in buildings original to the area and reflect the character of the town. There was a perfect little bookstore here, which was my favorite place to stop anytime I had the chance.
Island Facts:
- Population - 844
- 6.3 square miles
- 1 general store
- Fort Flagler and Mystery Bay
Besides the sunsets, Fort Flagler is Marrowstones main attraction. There is a camp ground located near a beach and you can hike around woodsy trails to see old war bunkers in your free time. At the top of the trail, you'll run into the take of point for hand gliders for those of you looking for a thrill. Marrowstone also has a local winery for those who enjoy the finer things in life.
