LANGLEY, Whidbey Island — The hotel guest must have spent the afternoon there, snuggled in her wooden deck chair amid cushions and a blanket for a fresh-air nap. She was there when I arrived at the Inn at Langley and stepped out on my waterfront deck adjacent to hers. She was there when I left for a walk, and still slumbering peacefully when I returned.

WHIDBEY ISLAND — The Fishmonger seafood market is one of the things I love about island hamlets like Bayview Corner, a pioneer-era business hub near Langley that recently got a facelift.
On a recent visit to this newly prettified crossroads where the market is a popular draw, I asked manager Mary French which fish was fresh that day. She shot back a look that practically purred, "It's all fresh, sweetheart." Of course, all I had to do was read the store's motto behind the refrigerated display case: "Only wild and Always fresh."

The driftwood was strewn about like Tinker Toys, and enough jellyfish had washed ashore that it felt like strolling through a grove of liquid pink sunflowers.

Trust me on this one. I am a Pacific Northwest native.
I can't even guess how many times I've driven the full length of Whidbey Island. But I do know how many times I've stopped at Coupeville or Langley.
Zero.
