This article goes over our 5 day itinerary, detailed information on great places to visit in San Diego with kids, where to stay and additional spots if you have more time.

Whidbey Island Day Trip from Seattle, WA with Kids

Whidbey Island is one of our favorite day trips from Seattle for both locals of the Pacific Northwest and visitors. This picturesque island has it all - cute towns, hiking trails, nature to explore, public art displays, great food and spots to view wildlife. You can access the island both on the ferry or by going across the famous Deception Pass bridge.
