  Chuckanut Drive Overview

  Jun 11, 2006

  Instead of facing the crowded roadways of Interstate 5, take a striking and slow paced alternative along the Chuckanut Drive. Stop in and sip a cup of tea in a small café as you travel through attractive farmlands and quaint towns such as Fairhaven. A side trip through the historic towns of Bay View and Samish Island treats you to an overlook of Samish Bay. Eat fresh apples, berries and other produce, or spend a day by the shore to snack on oysters, crabs and other shellfish.
