News: Whale Watching with the Orcas of Puget Sound
Caught this gorgeous photo on the Whidbey Camano Islands tourist site. What an incredible neighbor to have. Seems like we should start planning to visit for the autumn Orca season!
News: Separation of Church & State
Who new the South Whidbey Assembly of God sponsored our annual 3rd of July fireworks in Freeland. And does anyone care? I just like fireworks and having the celebration on the 3rd suite me fine as I can't get enough fireworks.

It also doesn't hurt that I have a beach yards from my back door here on Sandy Point.
News: Clinton FerryCam
I like checking the ferry cam in order to try to minimize the wait up the hill. Nothing beats driving straight onto the ferry (except maybe being the last car on the ferry).
