Skyhouse Guidebook

You've probably heard of the infamous Pacific Northwest rain. It's the reason our landscape stays so lush & green, and it's also a great reason to pack a rain jacket and some shoes that can get wet. You won't see many locals with umbrellas, but we do have a compact umbrella at the Skyhouse you can borrow during your stay, just in case!

Though we can (and love to!) offer advice on our personal experiences, the folks at ExploreHoodCanal.com have all the local expertise you'll need! You can sort through their listing by type (dining/activities/lodging) or by city. https://www.explorehoodcanal.com/ If you are looking for something that's not included on their site or in our guidebook, feel free to message us and we can look into it!

An easy must-see to add to your schedule is a drive along Purdy Cutoff Road. This road is most map service's secondary option for routing you from Hwy 101 to Union, as it takes *slightly* longer than the alternative Brockdale Road. However, those few extra minutes are worth ALL the views. Purdy Cutoff Road and East State Rte 106 take you along the Skokomish River, which empties into the Hood Canal just before you enter Union. The speed limit is 45 miles per hour, and there are pull-offs along the way if you want to slow down a bit. ** Watch for road closures during rainy & snowy seasons.**

If you're a yogi or yogi-in-training, schedule a lesson or attend classes with Joonbug Yoga. They offer classes at Alderbrook Resort, at the Alderbrook Golf & Yacht Club (which is the community where the Skyhouse is located), as well as private lessons for your own group! www.joonbugyoga.com
