Sunday, 8/17

  • 8:00am: Orcas to Anacortes Ferry

  • Multiple Airlines offer early morning flights from the West Coast that arrive before 8:30 (Alaska, Delta, Hawaiian, United)

  • If you can’t make it in before 8:30am, it’s strongly recommended you fly in the night before. Anytime after 8:30am, we’ll potentially miss the Friday afternoon ferry and not make our Friday tee time.

Step 2: Arrive @ SeaTac International Airport by Friday, August 15th @ 8:30am

  • Option 1: Fly to Orcas.

    • You can either take a wheeled plan from Boeing Field or a float plane from Lake Union in downtown Seattle. (Float planes will require pick up and drop off to Eastsound) It’s very inconvenient to be on-island without a car so it’s highly recommended to rent a car on-island or find someone to ride with.

    • ***If you choose to fly, please arrive at Sea-Tac by 8:30am, Friday 8/15 to drop golf bags and oversized luggage. Kenmore cannot accommodate golf clubs and have limited luggage size/weight requirements. Kenmore Luggage Rules here.

  • Option 2: Drive to Orcas

    • Driving allows you to take your own luggage and provides the most flexibility if you want to explore Orcas or any of the other islands.

    • Make a ferry reservation well in advance as they book VERY quickly. It’s a 2hr drive to Anacortes followed by a 1hr wait and 1hr ferry ride.

    • REAL IDs take effect May 7, 2025 and you must bring your Passport if you want to go to Canada.

Step 3: Arrive @ Orcas Island for our Meet and Greet by Friday, August 15th @ 4:30pm
