Live in Mukilteo which is a 15 min ferry ride away from whidbey. Do not think there is too many events there, however in the center of the island a lot of empty roads, or roads with little to no traffic, which makes it fun to drive.

But to answer your question.

Theres some awesome mountain forest roads around, might be a hour drive to get. There are quite a bit autox events going on out in Bremerton. Scene as in how many of us get together? Prob not that great, just a few of us clique up often for beers. Other wise its a beautiful place long as you can manage weeks of drizzling pissing rain followed by a day of sun. Than back to rain.

Hey, maybe the last 2 summers have been abnormal but they've been freaking awesome. 70-90 with no humidity? Perfect!
