Whidbey Island Bed and Breakfast Association

Clinton is the western terminus of the Whidbey Island (Clinton)-to-Mukilteo Washington State Ferry route. Even though the village area of Clinton is small, people as far as 7 miles away consider Clinton to be their home. Much of the village is situated on a high bluff overlooking Saratoga Passage on Puget Sound. The community of Columbia Beach, however, rests at sea level.

There are two grocery stores in Clinton, one in the downtown area and another a few miles east at what has been named Ken’s Korner. Additionally, Clinton has a Dairy Queen, the only fast food restaurant on the south end of Whidbey Island.
