Oak Harbor is a charming coastal city located on Whidbey Island in Washington. About two hours from Seattle, Oak Harbor was named because of its abundance of Garry Oak trees. One of the most popular activities is a visit to the city’s largest park - Deception Pass State Park - that has awe-inspiring old-growth forests. The PBY-Naval Air Museum is also worth dropping by as it has various excellent exhibitions on the history of the Naval aircraft based at the Naval Air Station Whidbey Island over the decades. For those who are more artistically inclined, Garry Oak Galley, which is an artists’ cooperative, is also good for an afternoon out.
