Chimacum, WA, named after a now-extinct Indigenous American tribe, is a region mainly known for small but progressive farmers and other agricultural-related endeavors like wineries, producing grass-fed meat, artisan cheeses and organically grown fruits and vegetables. In addition to perusing the local farmer markets where vendors market their craft foods, goods, and beer, go hiking, swimming, and boating. On a rare clear day, you can see the San Juan Islands from the Fort Worden State Park’s waterfront. The book, “The Egg and I,” was written by Betty MacDonald, who lived in Chimacum, and the original farm is still there.
