If you're looking for a place to watch movies while you sit in your car (with the radio on to the…read moremovie station) or in the back of your car (with the hood open), then this is the place for you! With high theatre prices, seeing more than one movie for less money is a gift. Especially where you can freely take whatever snacks you want (even if it's a whole meal that you somehow got there). And if you forgot your snacks/drinks, no worries because there is a shop where you can get food. There's also an arcade, so if you need something to do while you wait for the movie to start (other than reading a book or scrolling through social media), that's something.

My family and I had absolutely wonderful Saturday evening at Blue Fox Drive In Theater to see Lilo…read more& Stitch and The Karate Kid. The staff were all so very courteous, and welcoming. Be sure to order the fries; they are fantastic! The prices are unbelievable and accommodating for everyone. I do recommend being mindful of the time you arrive holidays, a certain movie premieres creates high volume of visitors. Also bring blankets, chairs, cushions, tents, and whatever else makes you as comfortable as possible to enjoy the movie outside the temperature drops but the movie is much more enjoyable bundled up together outside under the clear sky and stars. This was the perfect way to introduce the theater experience to children who's ages are 5, 3, & 1 as they had the opportunity to play at the arcade, ride go karts, and play in the open field area not being restricted to a theater room. On our way home my husband and I planned our next visit; I highly recommend adding Blue Fox Drive-In Theater to your things to do!

We stopped by to waste some time before we could check into our hotel. When we arrived, there was…read morelive music, food trucks and booths selling goods. There was a sandbox, swing set, a swimming lagoon, beach access, a playground and the cutest splash pad. We were just looking for a grassy area to sit and play and when we found Windjammer Park, we hit the jackpot! I highly recommend this park. It has something for everyone and it's dog friendly!

Windjammer Park is located along the waterfront in Oak Harbor. It has a paved walking path that…read moreruns along the beach, but not on the beach itself, that has staggered informational placards to the side. The park is a pleasant place to come even when there is thick wildfire smoke. The breeze from the bay might not completely clear the smoke away, but at least it provides some circulation of the air. My grandma and I like to come here and eat lunch together. We like to sit and eat at a covered pavilion stocked with picnic tables and a kitchen, though the kitchen requires advance reservation to use. A playground is adjacent to the eating area. My grandma likes to people and pet watch as we eat, I prefer to watch the water and try and spot any birds or other critters that might be out. It can get a bit cold depending on the weather and the wind. Even in the summer months, we both bring an outer garment to wear. The parking lot by the baseball fields is where we park and it can get a bit crowded if busy. Still, it is a parking lot easy to maneuver in.

As a military spouse I am appalled by the behavior of these people. They are people who give recruiters a bad reputation. I have and will continue to share this information on military spouse and community Facebook pages in hopes I can prevent other young people from falling prey to these predators.

They are wonderful sources of diverse-medium local art and provide shopping opportunities for economical gifts representing life on Whidbey Island. Garry Oak Gallery offers a diverse selection of pottery, blown glass, paintings, jewelry and wood working. The displays are well lit with plenty of space to offer perspective. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Absolutely no pressure. Combine it with lunch at one of the nearby restaurants and you are all set.
