Description
Imagine a day trip to the serene Long Beach on Whidbey Island, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of the Pacific Northwest. As you step onto the beach, the cool, salty breeze from the Puget Sound greets you, carrying with it the distant cries of seagulls. The beach, with its miles of unspoiled shoreline, is a haven for nature lovers and shellfish enthusiasts alike.
Your adventure begins with a leisurely stroll along the water’s edge, the rhythmic sound of the waves lapping against the shore accompanying your thoughts. The beach is dotted with driftwood, each piece a natural sculpture shaped by time and tide. As you walk, you spot a bald eagle soaring high above, its majestic silhouette a stark contrast against the clear blue sky.
But the real treasure of Long Beach lies beneath the waves. At low tide, the sea retreats to reveal a bounty of mussels clinging to the rocks. With a shellfish license in hand, you can harvest these delicious bivalves. The thrill of the hunt is matched only by the satisfaction of a successful harvest.A trip to Long Beach on Whidbey Island isn’t just about getting mussels. It’s about immersing yourself in nature, taking a moment to slow down, and truly savoring the simple pleasures life has to offer. So why wait? The beach is calling. 🌊
Optional Clams
There are clams on the beach which we can harvest. They won't be the goal for the main group but if you're personally interested, you will be able to dig for them. Butter clams, cockles, horseclams, and native littlenecks are reported to be in this location. If you intend to do that then you will need to take responsibility for bringing equipment, knowing the regulations, risks, and everything else that goes with clamming.Itinerary

HelpCity helps low-income single moms and widows with tasks in the home. They send volunteers out each Saturday from 10am-12pm to help moms and widows, and then the volunteers grab lunch after.
I've found this to be a really good way to make friends; do some physical work and then bond over a meal. Let me know if anyone is interested in volunteering !
Welcome to HelpCity! We are a nonprofit organization that comes together every Saturday morning to roll up our sleeves and assist a low-income single mother or widow with small, laborious projects around the home. Afterwards, we go out to lunch to celebrate!
We’re looking for more people who are interested in volunteering and making friends!This is NOT an official sign up. Since we are working with low-income single mothers or widows we have our own process that you will have to go through before you can volunteer with us.

Contact us: volunteer@gohelpcity.org | 425-312-3829HelpCity is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Our mission is to bring relief to low-income single mothers and widows by dispatching volunteer groups to help with physically demanding tasks in the home.
HelpCity is a tribute to extraordinary women who deserve a break from time to time. We are calling all sons and daughters to join us in the movement of honoring the most disadvantaged single mothers and widows in our city.
According to a survey of more than 40,000 voters in over 100 countries, the word voted most beautiful was “Mother.”
It goes without saying why.
My friends mother (Nara) was an immigrant widow and single mother for most of her life, and I was a witness to how vulnerable and helpless she was. As a boy, it made me feel angry to see her have to solicit help from men in the neighborhood and in the church for simple repairs around the house and helpless that I couldn’t do more.
But stories like this are not unusual.
