There are multiple ways to get to the Island.

Airporter Shuttles: While we recommend renting a car, this is a great option for parties where multiple people are arriving at different times and/or different airports (the first person arriving can pickup the rental car and head to the venue while the people getting in later can take the shuttle). The Whidbey SeaTac Shuttle offers daily shuttle service to and from SeaTac and Whidbey Island daily. You can find their schedule here. If taking this shuttle, we recommend arriving/departing from the Coupeville stop. If you are flying into Bellingham or Paine Field, the Bellair Airporter offers daily service. However, the closest drop-of location is Anacortes, which is ~50 minutes from Coupeville, so you will need someone to pick you up there. You can find their schedule here.

Driving Southbound: If coming from the north (i.e., north of Seattle) Google Maps will do a great job of taking you to the venue. From I-5, you will take the exit in Burlington onto State Rte. 20 W towards Anacortes. At the roundabout, take the second exit to stay on State Rte. 20. To get on the island, you'll cross over Deception Pass Bridge (180 ft. above the water!) and stay on 20 through Oak Harbor until you get to Coupeville. If you have time, we recommend stopping at Deception Pass (there is a parking lot on the Whidbey Island side) and walking the bridge. The views are absolutely breathtaking!

Driving Northbound: If coming from the South (Seattle or farther south) you have two options to get to the Island. Depending on Ferry schedules and availability, both options are about the same length of time.

Option 1: Drive over Deception Pass. Heading Northbound on I-5, take the exit in Burlington onto State Rte. 20 W towards Anacortes. At the roundabout, take the second exit to stay on State Rte. 20. To get on the island, you'll cross over Deception Pass Bridge (180 ft. above the water!) and stay on 20 through Oak Harbor until you get to Coupeville.

Option 2: Clinton Ferry. From I-5, exit onto WA-525 N towards Clinton / Mukilteo. Stay on WA-525 N and follow signs to the ferry terminal. Depending on the time of day, there may be a line of cars backed up on the right-hand side of the row (there is a lane designated for cars waiting for the ferry). Stay in this line until you get to the ferry check-stand. There, you will purchase your ticket and get your lane assignment. On the ferry, enjoy a 20 minute scenic cruise through the Pudget Sound (look out for whales!) and exit the ferry onto WA-525 in Clinton. Stay on WA-525 until you reach Coupeville. (Note that WA-525 turns into State Rte. 20 about 5 miles outside of Coupeville.)
