DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Find a buddy and take day trip to Levenworth. It's a beautiful Baverian village up the mtns. Kids and dogs can go also and enjoy outdoor cages, etc. Daughter just deployed so I'm back in AZ.

go to our "discussions page" and click on "see all" about 6 pages of subjects and themes, and a few are: things to do in Washington That should be a good start for reading anyway. Tell us if you are at Whidbey, Seattle, Bangor or where?
We'll try to help more. There is a gathering of local NavyforMoms later this month, have you seen that? go to right side of this page, and click on January 21 on the calendar....it will then pop up for you.

Unfortunately it's a bad time of year, as it's cold out. Take the ferry from Mukilteo over to Whidbey Island, stop in Langley and Coupeville for (very quick) shopping and a bite to eat (very small towns). A must see on Whidbey Island is Fort Casey. By Fort Casey is the ferry to Port Townsend, walk on for a day trip looking at the shops and eating at an old saloon. Continue down Whidbey Island to Oak Harbor, go to the big NEX on base if you need anything. Go over the Deception Pass Bridge, stop for pictures. On a clear day it's amazing. There are two beaches north of the Deception Pass Bridge, Rosario and Bowman's Bay. All State Parks require the Discover Pass or day-use parking pass. Anacortes and LaConner are cute towns to walk through. (All these ideas are several day trips, don't try and do all of them in one day) In April come up to Mount Vernon (that's where I'm from) for the Tulip Festival, but keep an eye on the news to make sure they are blooming. Once the North Cascades Pass opens in May take a trip over to Winthrop, an old Western town. The drive is beautiful and Winthrop is fun.
Near Everett, if you like to hike, head up to Granite Falls area for some great hikes. The Ice Caves are cool, hike in to Monte Cristo, an old silver mining town. Take in a Silvertips hockey game (I'm going this weekend), they're a lot of fun. There's an indoor trampoline place in Arlington called Air Time (I think), the Tulalip Casino is fun for dancing on the weekends if you're over 21. Kirkland is another fun town to pub crawl in. Learn to ski if you don't know how to already. Steven's Pass is only an hour/hour-half from Everett. Go tubing at Snoqualmie Pass.
Once the weather warms up you will have a lot more outdoor things to do. In the mean time, best of luck keeping yourself entertained.
