I'm not staying at Cama Beach State Park, is there anything I need to know in order to attend the wedding with ease?

Answer

Plan on paying for parking each day in the state park. Parking is located above all venues, requiring a short walk (~15 minutes) or a shuttle ride to the event. Shuttles run daily from Xam to Ypm (time TBD). For parking costs, a daily parking pass is $11.50. If you are a WA resident or if you plan to be at the park all three days, consider purchasing an annual Discover Pass in advance for $35.

What's the weather like?

Answer

Mid-October has temperatures in the mid 40’s to mid 60’s in recent years. Plan for layers; jeans and a shirt can be great during sunny October days while sweatshirts and fleeces will be necessary if it's overcast or if it's after sunset. Check out the weather for Camano Island, WA before you pack to see what is forecasted for the weekend. A raincoat and good walking shoes are highly recommended.
