Whidbey Island Homes for Sale

The community of Whidbey Island, Washington, has a long rich history having once been inhabited by the Snohomish, Suquamish, Swinomish, and Lower Skagit Native American tribes. The island was first fully explored in 1792, and in 1840 the first non-native American had an overnight stay on the island. Ten years later, the first known white settler, Colonel Isaac N. Ebey, claimed a large stretch of prairie along the Admiralty Inlet’s southern shoreline. In 1942, on the west side of central Whidbey Island, Fort Ebey was established and named after the Colonel, who was killed in 1857. Today, in that area, you’ll find Fort Casey State Park and the Admiralty Head Lighthouse.

In addition to this rich history, Whidbey Island has many other fascinating features. Along with Ben Ure Island, Camano Island, and six uninhabited islands, Whidbey comprises Island County. The town of Coupeville, which is on Whidbey Island, serves as the Island County seat. In addition to Coupeville, other Whidbey Island communities include the Community of Bayview, the Village of Clinton, the Community of Greenbank, the Village of Freeland, the City of Langley, and the City of Oak Harbor. Only Coupeville, Langley, and Oak Harbor are incorporated, but all of them, except Bayview, have their own zip codes and post offices. The island is divided into two economically distinct regions, with the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station and Oak Harbor at the northern end, and the other island communities to the south. Influenced by the presence of the Naval Air Station, the economy in the north is largely service-based, while the south relies heavily on tourism and the arts. Often referred to as the largest artists’ colony in Puget Sound, Whidbey is not only a haven for artists but is also a commuter town for the nearby cities of Seattle and Everett.

Among the many additional features that contribute to the appeal of Whidbey Island real estate, the island is home to South Whidbey State Park, Possession Point State Park, Fort Casey State Park, Fort Ebey State Park, Joseph Whidbey State Park, Deception Pass State Park, Earth Sanctuary, and Ebey’s Landing Historical Reserve. The island also encompasses a multitude of truly exceptional residential developments that include a wide variety of housing options such as condos, townhomes, single-family residences, and luxury properties. Furthermore, Whidbey Island has an interesting shape and encompasses four lakes, Lone Lake, Goss Lake, Deer Lake, and Cranberry Lake.
