South Whidbey Island-A Great Place to Live
 ~Read About Our Lovely Island in this Seattle Times Feature
Community, Beauty, and Self-Sufficiency The South Whidbey Island community consists of rural farmlands and small towns linked by a strong sense of community. The island features beautiful vistas of the Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges, access to the spectacular Puget Sound waterways and on-island old growth forests. Dotted by a network of small, independent farmers, we pride ourselves on maintaining a rural character and self-sufficient lifestyle.
Arts, Culture, and Outdoor Activity Abound Whidbey abounds with artists of all types, writers, small tech businesses, health and wellness practitioners and craftspeople of all kinds. There are several theaters on the south island, including Whidbey Children's Theater, where children can get an early experience of acting and performing. Those seeking a deep experience of the outdoors will find fishing, boating, hiking and camping opportunities within a few miles. There are two State Parks on the island and the County and Port offer even more facilities.
Island Living-Well Connected to the World The island�s largest city, Oak Harbor, is approximately 35 miles north. FREE Island County Transit busses criss-cross the island 6 days a week covering all towns and many small neighborhoods. Getting off the island and into the city is easy. The Washington State Ferry system operates from predawn until after midnight 7 days a week with service to Mukilteo (just minutes from I-5). With all this relative isolation, we are a short ferry ride to Everett, one hour from downtown Seattle and within an easy commute to numerous ski areas, three National Parks and even Vancouver and Victoria, Canada. Come join us on Whidbey Island � sophisticated rural island living�in the city!
