Fantastic Farm Stays Around Washington for Seattle-Area Families

Got some budding chefs or fishing enthusiasts on your crew? A stay at Lummi Island’s Nettles Farm will suit these interests and perhaps inspire some new ones. Come ready for some serious cooking here. You’ll find gourmet kitchens stocked with a wood-burning stove and everything you need for a home-cooked country breakfast. There is also a covered outdoor eating area, a grill and a dedicated kitchen garden. Pick your own fresh greens, herbs and veggies. Your kids will swoon over the outdoor pizza oven, and even the pickiest eaters will get in on the game.

Grab a prepacked pizza kit or sign up for one of the cooking workshops (better suited for the grown-ups and teens) to make your own dough, learn to cure salmon roe and more. Lodging options include the Farmhouse, with three bedrooms, a deck and a scented steam shower; and The Farmhouse Suite, which sleeps two. There are additional overflow rooms available for larger groups.

Don’t miss the awesome kids’ play cubby, stocked with toys and games. For even more excitement, look into the reef-netting tours run by the Salish Center for Sustainable Fishing Methods for a firsthand look at commercial salmon fishing.
