Getting Here:

Paine Field in Everett—our closest airport, just 4 miles from the ferry dock—is now serving the public. Here’s a link to directions from Paine Field to the Mukilteo Ferry.

On Whidbey:

Drive down/up 525 till you come to Cultus Bay Road, take a right if coming from up north and a left if coming from down in Clinton or off the ferry.

Drive for a minute or so and then take a right onto Campbell Road.

Take a left onto Old Pietila Road.

There is parking immediately to your right if you'd like to go for a hike, or walk to the Heartland.

Keep driving for another minute or so and you will come to our second parking lot, at the base of the Heartland.

For high accessibilty parking, keep driving up the narrow windy road and there is a small parking lot at the top, across from Thomas Berry Hall.

Welcome!
