- Mission and Vision: In 2024, the Great Northwest Glass Quest will celebrate its 15th anniversary, continuing a beloved tradition that spans over a decade. This unique event, which takes place over 10 days, invites participants to embark on a treasure hunt across Camano Island and Stanwood, Washington, in search of exquisite hand-blown glass balls. Organized meticulously by The Camano Island Chamber of Commerce, the Glass Quest not only offers an adventurous pursuit but also showcases the intricate artistry of glass blowing, making it a highlight event for both locals and visitors alike. - Environmental Responsibility: Please respect the rules and limits of the parks. Make sure not to disturb wildlife or plants in any way. Absolutely no sticks or similar objects should be used to poke or shift vegetation. Clue Balls are designed to be visible to the naked eye and reachable from all trails. When you're exploring our parks, consider bringing a bag to pick up any litter you find along your way—help us keep our parks pristine and healthy. - How to Participate: Let's talk about what a clue ball is, shall we? Picture this: a friendly little sphere about 3 inches across, crafted from clear plastic. Now, the folks who hide me sometimes give me a bit of a disguise to blend in with my surroundings. But don't worry, they always leave at least half of me transparent (I need a little air, after all!) and you'll be able to spot a clear section of me without moving anything around. Stumble upon me, and you'll discover a note tucked inside that guides you on your next adventure to claim your treasure - a beautiful Glass Ball.
