downtown Oak harbor

Historic Downtown Oak Harbor, on Pioneer Way.
This was and still is the original part of Oak Harbor. The city has gotten bigger over the past 30-40 years, but they still try to keep the original historic feel of how Oak Harbor used to be back in the old days.

DECEPTION PASS = AMAZING

view from the bridge

This is the coolest bridge/state park ever. It got its name when explorers came over to the west and had a difficult time surviving this difficult pass. Due to the sudden changes in the very strong current and whirlpools all over the place, it was a difficult area to maneuver. Between the bright green trees, clean beaches, blue water, and trails, you can spend hours exploring or just watching.

Tip: Park your car and walk across the bridge. There is a very cool trail to the water on the center island that connects the two sections of the bridge.

Daniel full of good food!

This place reminds you what typical American food is and why you love it! It is great grandma's home cooked, fatty, big serving meal that smells so good you don't even know which you want to order! Good enough you consider coming to dinner after eating lunch there.

Favorite Dish: I had the open-faced meatloaf sandwich! OMG! It was orgasmic. Perfect place on a cold day (like most in Seattle). Go hike around Deception pass then come in, get a table next to the fireplace and eat away the chill!
