Where We Live


  •  We live in the town of  Clinton , the first town as you exit the ferry.

    •  
  •   Freeland is where we lived before we finished our house, and where our church is located.  It is about 15 miles up-island from Clinton.

    •  
  •  Perhaps the most picturesque town on the south end is  Langley By-the-Sea , where you find eclectic shops, the Whidbey Island Center for the Arts, and the Whidbey Island Winery.

    •  
  •  As you travel north, you find the town of  Greenbank , with the Meerkerk Rhododendron Gardens, and the Greenbank Loganberry Farm, communally owned by the residents of Whidbey Island.

    •  
  •  At about the mid-point of our 45 mile long island is the city of Coupeville , filled with beautifully restored Victorian homes and public buildings and home of the Captain Whidbey Inn, where innkeepers go when they want a vacation. Coupeville is a favorite spot for filmmakers, with "Practical Magic" the most recent film set here.

    •  
  • On the north end of the island is  Oak Harbor , the largest and most commercial of the cities on the island.  North of Oak Harbor is  Naval Air Station Whidbey , and you exit the island on the north end via Deception Pass Bridge, a national monument which is truly a scenic wonder.

    Whidbey Island is a part of  Island County  and, though we are small, Whidbey Island boast six state parks (South Whidbey, Fort Casey, Deception Pass, Fort Ebey, Joseph Whidbey, and Keystone Spit)!  In addition to all the other attractions, Whidbey Island is a popular biking, hiking, boating and fishing destination.  We are conveniently located for trips of a day or longer to the Olympic Peninsula, the Pacific Coast, Vancouver Island and the city of Victoria, Vancouver, numerous ski areas, and the Seattle-Tacoma metro area.
