The hostel routine here is a bit upscale from what Alex described. The rooms are private. Sheets and bedding are supplied. Otherwise it's hosteling: guests share the living room and kitchen and often cook their meals rather than eating out. At some hostels the guests help with chores. I wouldn't say no. It's kind of like staying with friends on a road trip. Oh yes, we have good Wifi internet, but no TV.

It's $15 a night to stay in Alex's room and $30 a night ($150/wk) for the upstairs room, which has a kitchenette and private bath. Couples are $20 and $40. Children are $5.
We are ten minutes by car and 30 minutes by bicycle from:
- the Clinton-Mukilteo Ferry
- The town of Langley
- Maxwelton Beach
(Click on "Maxwelton" to see pictures of the beach)
It's a 10 minute walk to the Whidbey Institute or the Waldorf School.
Bus service is available, but not frequent, and not on weekends. By arrangement, I can pick people up at the ferry.
