There’s certainly no shortage of small towns in Washington. From our coastal gems to our rural farm towns, you’ll find something that works for your perfect getaway. And if you’re looking for nothing but peace and quiet (and perhaps some delicious food and beautiful scenery), you won’t find anything better than La Conner.

La Conner is a tiny town in Skagit County that sits right on the Swinomish Channel.

Leslie S / TripAdvisor While it’s only an hour long drive from Seattle, you’ll feel light years away from city life.

Just under 1,000 people call La Conner home, making it the definition of a small town.

management / TripAdvisor However, this peaceful place has plenty of amenities to offer a lovely weekend getaway.

Stroll the boardwalk and take in the views, stopping at the shops, wine bars, and galleries that catch your eye along the way.

The restaurants here are largely small independently owned family eateries—and they’re delicious.

Bart / TripAdvisor The Oyster & Thistle, Nell Thorn, and the La Conner Seafood & Prime Rib House are all top spots.

In addition to the art galleries and antique shops, you’ll find three museums here.

Management / TripAdvisor There really is plenty of entertainment to make for an enjoyable weekend.

This little town has plenty of charming hotels, bed and breakfasts, and lodges to choose from for an overnight stay or a full week away from home.

Lorraine B / TripAdvisor Katy’s Inn is a historic Bed and Breakfast built in 1876, and it’s located within walking distance of all the downtown shops and restaurants.

Consider La Conner for your next quiet getaway.
