La Conner

After our visit to RoozenGaarde, we headed over to La Conner.  Situated on the banks of the Swinomish Channel, which separates Fidalgo Island from the mainland, La Conner offers visitors opportunities to enjoy walks along the channel and past quaint shops.

Laura loves Blue Herons, so we are always on the lookout.

La Conner's new Channel Passage is such a wonderful addition to the town.  So often, the citizens of a town are cut off from the very waterfront that defines the town.  La Conner installed an elevated boardwalk at street level that sits between pre-existing structures and the channel.

What is amazing is how seamlessly the boardwalk just blends into the businesses it passes.

It's funny how there are gardens everywhere.

Cool idea for a water feature outside of a restaurant.

Ice Cream Shop

Interest place to check out.

La Conner is the type of place where window shopping can quickly turn into buy because of the interesting variety offered by its storekeepers.
