Welcome to the Chinook, our Land

The Chinook Conference and Retreat Center of the Whidbey Institute is located on Whidbey Island in the Pacific Northwest, one of the most beautiful bioregions in North America. We are conveniently situated just one hour north of Seattle and within easy driving distance from British Columbia, Eastern Washington and Oregon. Transportation from Sea-Tac and Vancouver International Airports is easily accessible.

The quiet, natural beauty of Chinook provides an ideal setting for personal and organizational retreats, special events, corporate meetings, seminars and workshop programs. Our 70 acres of evergreen forest and meadow lands laced with a network of walking trails encourage creative interaction, exploration and deep reflection, fostering renewed leadership and action.

Our facilities are designed for professional and personal renewal and inspiration. For more than 30 years, Chinook has been actively bringing people together to create dialogue, depth, greater clarity of vision and emergent ways of thinking and being in the world. Our land and facilities reflect and radiate an ambiance of integrity, comfort and well-being. Whether yours is a group of five or 150, Whidbey Institute at Chinook is the place to find cooperation, connection and new solutions to the vital challenges of our time.

We invite you to consider rental of our facilities for board or staff retreats, client meetings, or any other event for which you seek a peaceful, contemplative setting away from the distractions of daily life. Information about our facilities is available by clicking any of the buttons on the left.
