What a cool location for a wedding or other event. I only mention the wedding because I recently…read morevisited the Transit Shed Event Center to attend a wedding, and it was very nice. There is room outside on the dock for the wedding ceremony, then plenty of room inside for the reception. Plenty of room for a dance floor. This is a great place to have a big party.

I have come to the Whidbey Gold Club, or the Country Club as grandma calls it, for various special…read moreoccasions over the years. Most recently, I came with my parents, grandma, and aunt to celebrate Mother's Day today (Sunday 14 May 2023) with a lunch out. The club has a dress code: a collared shirt for men and no shorts for women. So, as a female, I went with my black and white Under Armour shoes, black athletic sweatpants, and a dark red crew neck sweatshirt. I cut my hair myself in a 5 millimeter buzzcut style on the Tuesday (9 May 2023) before the lunch to be crisp for the occasion. I encountered no problems in the workers correctly identifying my gender, and was not turned away. The floor plan/spacing between the tables was pleasant and the chairs had wheels on the bottom, making them easy to move, which I found nice. The lunch buffet had a breakfast section, a more savory lunch section, and a dessert section. All of the items I tried, including scrambled eggs and salsa, salad, bacon, biscuits and gravy, and a cheese blintz, were tasty. My belly was content after one round of the main buffet items. For dessert I went with a carefully cut square/rectangle of yellow cake (not lemon cake) that had a good classic yellow cake flavor and a fluffy/airy cream cheese frosting. The frosting paired with the cake exquisitely and I did not share. All of the workers were friendly and the parking lot was easily accessible. The front also has an area to pull up and pick-up/drop-off people, which was perfect for grandma.

Came in for a few cold beers after work. Just sat in the sun and enjoyed the view!!!read more

Little did we know, we would soon stumble across the most perfect hidden gem for our intimate event, Jenne Farm. The glory of this 150 acre property was celebrated by us in many ways. We held our rehearsal dinner in the historic farm house built in 1908, took photos in awe inspiring pastures, and shared our vows on a cold winter day in the most charming granary greeted by the most delightful farm animals. The best part of our weeklong stay there was our host, Fran. Talk about the most humble and hospitable person we had ever come across. He made us feel so comfortable and truly helped lay the foundation for one of the most memorable days of our lives. Jenne Farm will always hold the most special place in our hearts, and we are forever grateful for that! -Saba & Kaj

Wandering the beautiful, historic grounds feels like stepping into a peaceful country estate rather than a standard garden shop.

You can't walk in between rows. You can't pick any flowers. Even if you wanted to take pictures,…read moreyou have to include all the workers or whoever they are in the background. Tractor goes 1 mile per hour. Save your time and money. A handful of rows have bloomed, they should delay the opening date if they know people are paying to see all of them. If they know they're not in full bloom, why open? I did my research and what I seen vs what I read did not match. In the surrounding areas, there were fields of tulips. If I'd of known better, I would've went to their farm instead. The farm should delay their opening if the customers aren't getting what is being advertised. Also sectioning out a few rows so that can be picked so that customers can have an immersive experience would be my recommendation. I have yet to go to a tulip festival where you can't pick. That's all. And I'm not trying to dig at this particular farm, but my personal experience was not the best and would hate for anyone else to have to go through that. Maybe call ahead to get your questions answered before relying on the site. As it did not state any of those things, and if it did, it was hard to find.
