I am often asked by those who come to this island just north of Seattle to make it their home, “What do you love best about living on an island?
From the well of who I have become living here, comes these thoughts; Eagles soaring above in the bright sun, Madrona red sunsets, black nights with brilliant starlight, and most of all, the silence that surrounds you. The sounds of civilization evaporate in the moody waters between the island and the continent.
Whidbey Island didn’t start with a Pig War like San Juan Island. It has a more gentle history of families coming to camp here in the very early 1900’s. Eventually, independent families making their way to begin a new life farming the land, and merchants arriving to support them settled the island.
If you look at the videos and photos on my website you will see the rich and fertile life one can lead here on this island. It is easy to see why today it is the dream of many to move here. www.realwhidbey.com
