Off the Base
Washington is one of the best places to enjoy a wealth of recreational opportunities year-round. Surrounded by mountains, lakes, oceans and an arid climate to the east, the Pacific Northwest offers an incredible backyard to explore and discover. Just a short distance from the city, NAS Whidbey Island is a quick drive to museums, theaters, restaurants, major sporting events, the Seattle music scene. Our goal is to get you out and enjoying your time in the Northwest.
We also realize there is a serious side to Navy life. Healthcare, education, employment, relocation and support are all important aspects of military life. Therefore, we have provided you with resources to help make those facets of your life a little easier.
