Looking for an alternative? Here are some fun alternate routes to consider, each of which offers great things to see and do along the way (for planning purposes only; Google maps do not show real-time traffic):
Northern Route via Whidbey Island
Hood Canal Bridge (SR 104)
Winds and strong tides have potential to close the SR104 Hood Canal Bridge to all traffic. Additionally, marine events, scheduled repairs and/or military purposes (unannounced) may also close the bridge to road traffic from time to time. Non-military closures are announced in advanced.
