Traveler advice

Getting around

Roberson Taxi

It's only $6 from the house to downtown using Roberson Taxi. They are on time, clean cars and friendly.
Don't miss

Harbor District Market

Open Thursday - Saturday, this space is host to many local artisans, vendors and fresh goodies made locally. I recommend getting a cinnamon roll from Sugar Plum Bakery at the market on Saturdays.
Getting around

Rent Bikes at River Vibes

Bike the boardwalk! Biking is definitely a great method for exploring and this location is right downrk. Offers a date night special great for 2!
Don't miss

#1 Hot Dogs!

Be sure to stop at Bills Hot Dogs for a hot dog "all the way". This is a Washington staple!
