Christmas Ship Festival
Celebrate the season with a moonlit cruise on a festive Christmas ship. A holiday tradition since 1949, you’ll enjoy sailing to oceanside communities in the Puget Sound while the onboard choir sings your favorite carols. Children can listen to Santa read “Twas the Night Before Christmas” and make holiday crafts. If you don’t want to take a cruise, you can view the ship from the shore with an evening bonfire on the sand.

San Juan Island Sea Salt
Made on one of the most beautiful islands in the Pacific Northwest, this unique brand relies on two key ingredients to make its mineral-rich and savory salt—sea water and sunshine. With the belief that sea salt should, in fact, taste like the sea, the company’s painstaking process ensures perfectly pinchable salt delivered in adorable little wooden salt boxes.
The Soap Chest
This luxurious soap brand got its start in 2000 with one goal in mind—to create a natural handmade soap that incorporates homegrown herbs, local honey and goat milk. Each bar is hand cut with care to ensure a truly custom product perfect for gift-giving (or keeping for yourself). Scents include Spiced Apple Cider and Sunriver Sage.
