Olympics from Highway 525

You may be thinking of a road trip to Whidbey Island.  It is surprising what views can be had from Highway 525, without turning off to scenic points of view.

The first view of the Olympics can be seen as you descend to the Mukilteo ferry dock.

There is another great view of the mountains as you get closer to Coupeville.  In the foreground is a radar device at the navy's outlying field.

This is the view as you near Coupeville.  In the foreground is part of the Ebey National Historic Reserve.
Even if you plan to only "drive up the island" and not venture out to the picturesque shores and bluffs, you will have wonderful views from your car.

Mukilteo, Washington

The lighthouse at the Mukilteo ferry landing is picturesque.  The ferry connects Whidbey Island with the mainland at Mukilteo, south of Everett.

Fishermen take advantage of a warm and calm evening.

This was the scene earlier in the day.  The Mukilteo Light Station still operates, its Fourth Order Fresnel lens having a range of 12 miles.
