| Katy's Inn Bed & Breakfast |
 |
When you take a tour of Katy’s Inn, the first thing that strikes you is how gracious of a home it is. The second thing that strikes you is that for a house that was built in 1885, it is still as solid as the rock that it sits upon.
Located on the corner of Washington and Third streets in La Conner, and known throughout Northwest Washington as ‘the wonderful gray B&B with the white trim and picket fence’, Katy’s Inn continues to be a favorite getaway location for couples looking for a romantic getaway, folks ready for a respite from their hectic daily lives, and families building memoires during a family reunion. It’s the kind of Inn that inspires guests to slow down, take a deep breath, and take in the spectacular views.
Voted Best Bed and Breakfast/Inn in Skagit County in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, Katy’s Inn clearly is a favorite lodging option for visitors to La Conner. The Inn has four rooms with private baths – one on the main floor and three on the second floor. They are ...

Swans, Snow Geese, Herons, & Bald Eagles Around La Conner
What are you doing this weekend?
How about taking a birding field trip, ending the day with Fine Northwest Cuisine, and then cozying up in a waterfront suite or an artistic guest house. La Conner is your watercentric birding getaway.
Trumpeter and Tundra Swans migrate south from their summer homes in Alaska to the Skagit Valley. They peak in numbers around January with the majority returning home by the end of March.
While out birding you will encounter the Snow Goose which is also white, much smaller and has black wing tips. Snow Geese gather in gigantic flocks of thousands in fields, and fly by thousands to the water around sunset. Their honking is thrilling to hear.
Watch out for the Great Blue Herons who like to hang out next to the sloughs. Then look up to the tree tops to spy on Owls, Bald Eagles, and Hawks. You may also see the Rough-legged Hawk, Red-tailed Hawk, Peregrine Falcon and the Northern Harrier.
Happy Birding Around La Conner!
