Company coming this summer? Do you want a fun getaway close to home? Looking for something the whole family can enjoy?
Take the Puget Sound Express Whale Watching cruise from Port Townsend. For west sound residents it is an easy drive to get to Port Townsend for the 8:40 boarding.
You'll spend the day cruising to the San Juans, looking for whales and other wildlife, enjoying the scenery, shopping and eating in Friday Harbor and you'll be back in Port Townsend in time for dinner at one of the many restaurants.
Refreshments are also available on the boat including freshly baked Blueberry Buckle in the morning.
Each year Pete and Sharri Hanke, owners of PS Express, take our Visitor's Bureau staff and volunteers on a day cruise - yesterday was our day. It was a great break from the office and a chance to once again be awed by the beauty of the Northwest. The California Sea Lion above was on the bouy as we left Port Townsend.
Above is Point Wilson Lighthouse at the Fort Worden State Park.
We saw plenty of whales, harbor seals, waterfowl and other wildlife all along the cruise.
Once in Friday Harbor we enjoyed lunch with a water view, shopped the galleries and stores and stopped in to say hello to a friend, who also own a whale watching business: San Juan Safaris, another great option if you're starting in Friday Harbor.
On the way home we saw lots of eagle activity. I'm going to save the rest of the eagle and harbor seal pictures for another entry since they tell their own story.
