After a long day of exploring La Conner, you may need to treat yourself. Fortunately, if you're in the downtown area, you have the perfect option for a late-night (or early morning) treat.

Lincoln Theater

Address: 712 S 1st St, Mount Vernon, WA
Distance from Us: 17 minutes

The Lincoln Theater is an ornate, historic place. Originally a vaudeville/silent movie house in Mount Vernon, it's been restored for modern day shows. The owners have added updated movie theater screens and an improved sound system, but kept much of the original decor.

Fun, locally-developed shows are held throughout the year. If you want to see the artistic skill of our community, this is a great place to see it.

Goat Island

Distance from Us: 11 minutes

Just a short kayak trip away from La Conner lies Goat Island—the home of Fort Whitman. If you want secluded history combined with a fun journey, then this attraction is a must. You'll need to rent a kayak (or bring your own) to make the journey across part of Skagit Bay. When you land on the beach of Goat Island, you'll eventually be able to find a path to an isolated WWII Fort. Remnants there can still be found today.
