Langley, where a Country Cottage of Langley resides, is a small-town world just minutes from the Mukilteo ferry
and the fast pace of the metropolis. Tucked into flower-filled alleys and courtyards and along the main streets of
this waterfront town are art galleries, antique stores, shops, restaurants, bakeries, coffee houses, and brew pubs.
Langley offers views of Saratoga Passage, Camano Island, and the Cascades. On most days see great blue
herons, sea lions, and an occasional gray whale. A 246-seat theater supports a year-round program of local and
touring music, theater, and dance. The Langley area has more than 50 small inns and B&B's. South Whidbey Air
Park accommodates small aircraft, and the Langley Small Boat Harbor provides transient moorage. Use this
handout as a guide to visit the wonders of our town!
