Find Your Perfect Island: Lummi Island, Washington

Fewer than a thousand people live on this rugged island, a 10-minute ferry ride from Washington's northern coast. Driving along its 9 square miles, you won't encounter many tourists -just a scattering of second-home owners in tie-dye and fishermen netting salmon. In spring, you might spot whales migrating up the coast-or the occasional skinny dipper. Read feature full here. 

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
