Driving?

Kick off your Photo Palooza PNW the moment you shut the car door—no airport parking shuttles, no gate changes, no lost luggage holding your camera gear hostage.
 
Seattle and Tacoma photographers are just 90 minutes from golden-hour glory—zip north on I-5, catch the Chuckanut Drive curves at sunset, and rack up portfolio-worthy coastal frames before check-in.
 
Coming from Spokane, the Idaho Panhandle, or Boise? That epic cross-state haul across the North Cascades or along the Columbia River Gorge is pure Photo Palooza fuel: glacier-covered peaks, turquoise rivers, roadside bald eagles, and zero restrictions on how many lenses you pack.
 
From Vancouver, British Columbia, you’re practically already here: a smooth 45–90-minute roll down Highway 99 or a scenic ferry hop lands you at the border, then it’s a quick zip along Birch Bay’s shoreline straight to the resort—no passport stamps required once you’re through (and the lineup is usually faster than YVR security)
 
By the time you roll onto the Semiahmoo Spit with the Salish Sea glowing and Mount Baker looming overhead, your memory cards are already warming up, and you’re perfectly positioned for the main event.
 
Why fly and waste a single shooting day when the drive itself is the ultimate Pacific Northwest photo adventure? Load the car, grab your crew, and let every mile be the opening act of your Photo Palooza PNW masterpiece.

Flying?

Even if you choose to fly, Photo Palooza PNW starts the second your wheels touch down. Skip the madness of SEA and land at Bellingham International (BLI) on quick, affordable nonstop flights from Seattle, Portland, Las Vegas, Boise, Spokane, or the Idaho Falls area on Alaska Airlines or Allegiant! 

with your camera bag safely at your feet instead of tumbling around a cargo hold. From the moment you step off the jet bridge, you’re only 25 minutes from Semiahmoo Resort: grab your rental car and roll past snow-capped Mount Baker and glowing eelgrass flats while everyone else is still circling the baggage carousel in Seattle.

Flying into Seattle-Tacoma? You’re still just 90 minutes door-to-door on I-5, and the drive north delivers bonus shots along Chuckanut Drive that make the short road trip worth every mile. Either way, you land relaxed, gear intact, and ready to shoot—no jet lag, no lost day, and zero time wasted. Fly smart, land close, and let Photo Palooza PNW begin the instant you’re back on Pacific Northwest soil.
