Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve is located on central Whidbey Island in Washington State's Puget Sound region. The island is easily accessible from the mainland via SR 20 from Anacortes. The Washington State Ferry system provides year-round automobile service from Port Townsend and Mukilteo. In the summer season, ferry lines for automobiles can be quite long, and travel delays should be expected.
