Shop, Stroll, Sip on the Seaside
Luxury goods, craft brew, and a meditative sculpture park. It's all in a day’s work.
Kayak Point, Stanwood & Camano Island
Adjacent to Tulalip Resort Casino, you’ll find the Seattle Premium Outlets. Perfect for a morning of shopping before you set out to explore further, this international destination offers more than 100 stores in a covered, open-air setting.
From there it’s a short drive up the coast to go hiking and stroll the beach at Kayak Kayak Point. Kayak Point is the quintessential northwest beach, offering a pier for crabbing, cliffs overhung by picturesque madrona trees, and a boat launch for kayakers and stand-up paddleboarders.

End your day at the Matzke Fine Art Gallery and Sculpture Park on Camano Island. One of the few Salish Sea islands that are accessible by a bridge (as opposed to ferry), the views from Camano are truly stunning, with panoramic beaches that face Snohomish County, the Cascade foothills beyond, and the white muscular mountains that we’re known for.
