Island County

Island County, Washington has exactly what the name promises: island life. But, perhaps not the tropical island fare typically conjured up by that title. Instead, residents of Island County wake up to an idyllic slice of PNW beauty every morning: living amongst deep green evergreen trees and a shoreline speckled with nesting birds, driftwood, and lapping saltwater. Island County takes community pride in their open public spaces and the restoration of their waterways and harbors. They are eager to share the rich history of the native and euro Americans who made this place their home hundreds, and thousands of years ago. Living here today, residents find the walkability is easy, transit is free, and bicycle lanes are expanding throughout Whidbey and Camano Islands. Simply put, Island County is easy to visit—and hard to leave.
