There are dozens of great small towns in Washington that make for excellent day trips. We’ve got so many villages with extensive history, delicious food, and tons of charms. One that we love is La Conner. Located in Skagit County, it’s got just under 1,000 residents and is a phenomenal spot for a weekend trip.
Located right on the Swinomish Canal, La Conner has beautiful scenery.
