After visiting the art show and artist studios, take a walk in the waterfront park at Blaine Harbor then head out to Semiahmoo Resort for a glass of wine on the waterfront or stay for a delicious dinner at either Packers Oyster Bar or Pierside Kitchen. To make a full weekend, check out the website stayinnblaine.com for local accommodations. Please share with your friends.
