For many of us, the events of the past year have led to us spending more time outdoors. And since outdoor hangouts are still preferable, we're thrilled to report that Washington's new sculpture forest is now open to the public. This gorgeous space is a modern art gallery inside a lush green forest, a convergence of nature and man-made beauty. Check out the Price Sculpture Forest.
You'll find Price Sculpture Forest just east of downtown Coupeville on central Whidbey Island.
There's never a bad time to visit Whidbey, and late winter happens to be a nice, quiet time to go.
Founder Scott Price originally purchased this land to build a home.
But he realized that if he ever sold it, the century-old native forest would likely be cleared away for the views. So he decided to do something more meaningful.
Price placed a conservation easement on the land, which means it's protected land... forever.
He was inspired to create a sculpture garden here after visiting several himself. And so, Washington's sculpture forest was born.
Stroll through the forest and you'll see art hanging from trees, hidden behind foliage, or showcased on the ground in all its glory.
With over a half-mile of trails, the outdoor gallery features 25 sculptures from artists across the Pacific Northwest and the United States.

Not only are the sculptures fantastic, but you'll also love exploring the century-old trees, rhododendrons, and lush green land.
The location for these unique sculptures really couldn't be more perfect.
Here's the best part: Price Sculpture Forest is open every day from dawn to dusk, and it's free to visit.
Better yet, you'll have access to a free self-guided tour you can download to your smart phone (no app required). Donations are accepted and appreciated to help keep the park well-maintained and running smoothly, but the art is available to everyone.
This enchanting experience is just a short ferry ride away.
Coupeville’s 1.5-mile walking path extends directly from the downtown area to the sculpture forest, so it's easy to find.
