🎡✨ The Wheel of Kindness has spoken! ✨🎡

We had so much fun spinning the wheel of names for our Kind Quester winners. Every name on that wheel represents someone who was noticed doing something kind in our community 💙

From quiet good deeds to bright public moments, you reminded us what this event is really about.

Congratulations to our winners who will each receive a beautiful small glass bird 🕊️

👉 If you see your name announced, check your email for pickup instructions.

To everyone who received an “I Was Noticed Being Kind” card… thank you. The real prize is the ripple effect of kindness spreading across Camano and Stanwood 🌊✨

🎉 That’s a wrap on the 2026 Northwest Glass Quest! 🎉

What an incredible year. From hidden treasures to heartfelt moments of kindness, you showed up with curiosity, community spirit, and a whole lot of adventure.

This marked the 10th year the Camano Island Chamber of Commerce has organized the Northwest Glass Quest — and what a journey it has been. The event has grown, evolved, and transformed over the years. What began as a simple glass ball hunt has become something much bigger: a celebration of community, creativity, connection, and kindness.

We are especially proud of how this event continues to expand beyond “just finding a glass ball.” The focus on supporting local businesses, practicing kindness, and creating meaningful experiences across Camano Island and Stanwood is what truly makes the Quest shine. ✨

To every Quester, volunteer, artist, sponsor, and participating business — thank you. You are the magic behind the movement.

If you know a business that would be a great fit for next year’s Northwest Glass Quest, we’d love to connect with them. Have them fill out this form to learn more and get involved:

Until next winter… wander well, wonder often, and keep the Quest spirit alive. 💙

🎬 The perfect way to wrap up your Glass Quest experience…

Before you pack up the clues, wash off the mud, and tuck this year’s adventure into memory — take 12 minutes to relive the magic. 💙

Our Glass Quest Documentary captures the heart of it all:
✨ The early morning excitement
✨ The community spirit
✨ The laughter, the teamwork, the unexpected moments
✨ And the reason this event means so much to so many

Whether you’re a business host, sponsor, volunteer, or devoted Quester… this is the story you helped create.

Grab a cozy blanket, press play, and let it be your official “until next year.” 🌊🔵

While you are at Freedom Park Association questing this weekend we would love it if you would bring a rake and help out the park!! It would be a super KIND QUESTER kinda thing to do!
