Murder Mystery Weekend on Whidbey

Clipper Vacations is offering an opportunity to cruise to Langley on Whidbey Island for the annual Murder Mystery Weekend on Sunday, Feb. 27. Organizers will produce an interactive play to take place around town. Those attending will spend the day collecting clues from merchants and talking to the actors, then submit their best guess of who may have committed the "crime." The boat departs at 8:45 a.m. from Pier 69 in downtown Seattle, and returns at 6 p.m. Cost is $49 for adults and $28 for children. For reservations and information, see www.clippervacations.com or call 206-448-5000.
