Tides, Tales, & Tidbits Tour of Samish Island

Date & Time:
August 16, 2026
2:00 pm – 5:30 pm
Location:
Three private properties on Samish Island. Event address and directions will be sent to registrants via email.

Enjoy a Samish Island Sunday afternoon as you chase the incoming tide from Padilla Bay to Alice Bay with hosts of three special properties owned by friends of Skagit Land Trust.

Nibble on snacks and wet your whistle as you decide whether to enjoy a walk or two on Land Trust properties, or simply settle back and chat with friends.

Start with a cable car ride down to Padilla Bay, where you’ll see the tide far off in Anacortes along with one of the largest, healthiest eelgrass beds on the West Coast. Carry on to another property on Alice Bay for more snacks and stories as the tide makes its way around the island from the southeast. End your day in a beautiful waterfront garden as you wrap up a lovely summer afternoon on Samish Island.

This event is part of Skagit Land Trust’s annual fundraiser, so there is a $75/ticket fee for this experience. Buy your tickets on Eventbrite (or call our office to forego additional Eventbrite fees).

Event address and directions will be sent to registrants via email. Carpooling encouraged.
