Salish Sea Book Voyage
Explore the Salish Sea,
One Bookstore at a Time
A self-guided bookstore road trip connecting independent bookstores across the Olympic Peninsula and Whidbey Island.
Go in a day. Take a weekend. Make it a ferry adventure. Or visit one store at a time. There's no deadline, no required route, and no purchase necessary.
Why Voyage
The Olympic Peninsula and its islands are home to an extraordinary network of independent bookstores. The Book Voyage is an invitation to explore them — by ferry, by road, and by chance discovery.
Each shop is a harbor for readers. The voyage is yours to chart.
Nine Bookstores. Two Regions. One Great Excuse to Explore.
From Port Angeles to Langley, from Oak Harbor to Port Townsend, the Salish Sea Book Voyage connects nine independent bookstores across some of the most beautiful territory in the Pacific Northwest. Each store is its own destination — a reason to take the ferry, explore a new town, and discover what the locals are reading.
Hours change seasonally — check each store's website before visiting.

Ambitious but possible! The route covers the Olympic Peninsula and Whidbey Island, which involves a ferry crossing. We recommend spreading it over a few days to enjoy each stop.

Pacific Mist Books in Sequim is about a 10-minute walk from the Sequim Transit Center, right on Washington Street downtown.
From the Sequim Transit Center, take the #30 Commuter to the Port Angeles Gateway Transit Center for Odyssey Books and Port Book and News. This is one of the most frequent routes in the area, often running every 30 minutes during peak weekday hours.
Weekday schedule: Buses typically run roughly every 60–90 minutes starting around 6:30 AM through the early evening.
Saturday service: A modified schedule with fewer runs, generally starting later in the morning.
