While Valentine’s Day is celebrated on Feb, 14, the entire month of February has regional wineries and resorts offering romantic deals for enjoying some quiet couple time. No matter the time of year, though, a romantic wine getaway is easily within reach in Washington state, with scenic exploration and outdoor activities icing the cake.
For waterfront indulgence, you can’t beat the Inn at Langley. Each of the 28 rooms offers a peek at the Saratoga Passage, the part of Puget Sound that separates Whidbey and Camano Islands, and within minutes you can be standing on the strip of pebbly beach that fronts the inn. (It also takes seconds to stroll into town.) All rooms include fireplaces and balconies and welcome your canine friend.
Deception Pass Cabins From $55/night, goingtocamp.com
Want a deeper connection with nature? Book a few nights at one of the eight cabins in Deception Pass State Park. The fully equipped Ben Ure Cabin, located on an island only accessible by kayak or rowboat (so pack light!), is a local favorite. The other seven cabins are a mix of glamping and more traditional (two even have bathrooms with showers).

Since the mid-1800s, marine mammals have been caught and imprisoned for entertainment. P. T. Barnum displayed dolphins and belugas, and, in the late 1800s, the Brighton Aquarium in England displayed harbor porpoises. By the 1870s, whales and dolphins were being captured and sold to parks in the United States and Europe. Major circus acts, such as Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, have phased out the use of wild animals for audience entertainment. Many marine theme parks have promised to no longer feature trainers in the tanks with orcas but have not yet done so.
