Stanwood Washington Tourism |
 |
Located within one hour of Seattle, Bellingham and the Canadian border, Stanwood provides a friendly small town retreat from big city life, with historic buildings, shopping, antiques, restaurants, and full-service resources in a quaint, agricultural setting.Stanwood hosts many popular events including the Port Susan Snow Goose & Birding Festival in February which provides the opportunity to take special birding tours, listen to informative speakers and participate in birding activities. Also in February is The Great Northwest Glass Quest. Search for and find “snowballs” handmade by Mark Ellinger, world-renowned, hand-blown glass artist. ‘Clueballs’ will be hidden at a variety of host businesses and in community sites around the Stanwood-Camano area. In August, the Stanwood-Camano Community Fair and parade highlight the summer. One of Stanwood’s biggest and brightest events is The Lights of Christmas at Warm Beach Camp. The indoor-outdoor holiday festival features nearly one million lights, a stunning larger-than-life nativity, live music, crafts, food, children’s pony rides, petting farm, draft horse wagon rides, train rides, dinner theater and overnight options. Stanwood is home to many local artists working in mediums of paint, pottery, glass, photography and wood. Nearby, the world-famous Pilchuck Glass School, started by Dale Chihuly, draws students from around the world each summer. The annual Mother’s Day Studio Tour showcases our local artists and gives everyone the chance to enjoy their talents. Stanwood is an active community – people who are committed to serving others, living a life of quality, and managing growth in a manner that benefits everyone. |
