Whidbey is a tourist destination. We highly suggest you search and obtain lodging shortly after registering for your workshop.
Please click on the lodging button for more information on Whidbey Island lodging.
Students, you have two options for getting to Whidbey!
You can drive and take a short but beautiful ferry ride, or drive around the north end of the Island and arrive via a stunning historic bridge.
Don’t want to drive? Simply fly into SeaTac airport and hop on a shuttle with direct service to Coupeville.
Students are responsible for their own transportation to and from Whidbey Island, and to and from class each day.
We are a small but mighty staff of two and simply do not have the resources to provide transportation. Thank you for understanding.
