CONTENTS

Thinking about a trip to Whidbey Island? There is something you should know first: people who visit here are highly susceptible to falling in love with this island paradise.

After a few days, you may just find that you never want to leave.

While rural, charming and roman-tic, it's anything but sleepy and bor-ing. Whidbey Island stands out as Puget Sound’s best getaway because it never falls into a winter slumber.

Do your holiday shopping in Oak Har-bor, welcome the new year by hopping into Puget Sound during Freeland’s Polar Bear Plunge, sleuth through clues during Langley’s Mystery Weekend in Febru-ary or celebrate the bounty of the seas in Coupeville during the Penn Cove Mussel Festival.

Rich history, creative atmosphere and unparalleled natural beauty are all found here.

Each community has a distinct char-acter and offers a little something for everyone.

Oak Harbor, a vibrant waterfront city, offers great shopping and dining to mili-tary history and golf. It is the largest city on Whidbey and is a great base for explor-ing North Whidbey.

Coupeville is a quiet community by comparison. It still reflects the character of a frontier seaport when Puget Sound was first settled. Yet, it offers great food and shopping.

Throughout Ebey’s Reserve, from the shoreline of Penn Cove to the bluff at Ebey’s Landing, Coupeville visitors enjoy nature at its best with bald eagles soaring and gray whales and otters frolicking in the water.

Greenbank, at the heart of the island, is home to Greenbank Farm, where visitors enjoy long walks or learn about sustain-able farming. Eat some of the tastiest pie you’ll ever have at Whidbey Pies and stroll through the small shops and gal-leries. Love lush gardens? Then a stop at Meerkerk Rhododendron Gardens is a must.

Nestled between Holmes Harbor and Mutiny Bay, Freeland is an active com-

munity in which many people want to live and play.

Downtown Freeland offers shopping and dining all within walking distance. Antiques and technology shops can be found across the street from each other, and it is home to some of the finest beaches on the island, such as Double Bluff Beach Park.

Langley, which celebrated its 100th birthday in 2013, is bustling with activity. With its inns and restaurants that have earned national recognition, the Village by the Sea is home to many creative minds. Visitors can experience everything from watching master glass blowers at work to observing sea life from a kayak. Rub elbows with artists, winemakers and coffee roasters and shop, shop, shop.

Finally, Clinton is the gateway to Whidbey Island for many visitors. It is the landing for one of two ferry routes serving the island.

Clinton has a wonderful artist com-munity and is home to beautiful parks, beaches and an innovative business com-munity.

Located at the heart of Puget Sound, just northwest of Seattle and southwest of the San Juans, a Whidbey Island getaway is closer than you think, and getting here is half the fun.

Whether you’re crossing breathtaking Deception Pass Bridge or arriving by ferry from Mukilteo, the island is about one hour from the heart of Seattle.

From the Olympic Peninsula, Whidbey is only a 30-minute ferry ride from Port Townsend.

A little known fact about Whidbey Island that should not go unmentioned — situated in the rain shadow of the Olympics, parts of the island receive less than half the average rainfall of Seattle.

This winter, leave the umbrella at home and stroll the county’s beaches, hike the trails, explore charming stores, eat locally grown food, sample wine and watch a show produced by one of our many per-forming arts companies.

By the time you leave, you’ll know why Whidbey Island is one of the gems of Western Washington.

Accommodations

Whidbey Island is a favorite getaway for mainlanders — and for good reason. Miles of driftwood-strewn beaches. Cool, dark forests. Farmland rich and fecund.

When visitors come to stay, they have an array of choices up and down the island, from charming bed and breakfasts and rural retreats to familiar establishments with names you recognize. Whatever your pleasure, Whidbey can accommodate your needs.

Starting on North Whidbey, Oak Har-bor has lots of room for the whole fam-ily. The Best Western (360-679-4567, http://bestwesternwashington.com), Coachman Inn (360-675-0727, www.thecoachmaninn.com), Candlewood Suites Oak Harbor (360-279-2222, www.ihg.com/candlewood/hotels/us/en/reservation) and the Auld Holland Inn, with its iconic windmill in Oak Harbor (360-675-2288, www.auld-holland.com) are great choices.

The North End has choices for the more adventurous as well.

While not technically on Whidbey, those looking for something different can book a stay at a small island at Deception Pass. The Ben Ure Cabin, located on a 10-acre island of the same name, can only be reached by kayak or canoe. Up to two people can stay at one time. The rustic, tiny cabin offers views of Simik Bay and a chance to get away from it all. Book a stay through the state parks reserva-tion system ($85 per night, 1-888-226-7688, washington.goingtocamp.com).

“It’s open to all of us who can’t afford a place of our own like this,” said park ranger Jack Hartt.

One of Whidbey’s well-known lodges is the Captain Whidbey Inn in Coupeville (www.captainwhidbey.com). The 107-year-old inn is located on Penn Cove, offering waterfront views, a bar and restaurant and rustic charm.

Aside from the suites in the lodge, the inn offers private cabins.

For a taste of authentic farm life, consider a stay at Crockett Farm Bed and Breakfast in Coupeville (360-678-2036, crockettfarmbnb.com), which boasts five rooms on one of the oldest farmsteads on the island.

With a meeting room, library and cozy fireplace, the farm is an attractive choice for special events such as weddings.

Stay in Coupeville’s historic district in a converted 1937 firehouse at the Firehouse Inn ($185 per night, 360-678-2184, www.coupe-villefirehouseinn.com). The inn is surrounded by shops and restaurants and overlooks the Coupeville Wharf. The rental includes his-toric touches, such as exposed beams and hardwood floors.

Close by is the The Coupeville Inn ($110 per night, 360-678-6668, http://thecoupevil-leinn.com). This charming French Mansard-style inn is located downtown and minutes from the Coupeville Wharf and shops.

Coupeville also has a wide selec-tion of B&Bs, from the historic Blue Goose Inn (360-678-4284, http://blue-

Visitors can stay in a tree house at the Whidbey Wellness in the Woods in Freeland ($150 per night, 206-571-3165, whidbeywell-ness.com). The tree house sits 13 feet off the ground in a cedar tree. Windows and plenty of skylights offer views of the surrounding woods.

The Inn at Langley is an upscale waterfront inn located near Saratoga Passage — it's one of the top hotels in the world, according to Travel + Leisure.

All the rooms offer waterfront views. Rates start at $225 a night (360-221-3033, www.innatlangley.com).

Farmhouse Bed and Breakfast in Clinton is situated on 2.5 acres of pasture, garden and orchard. It offers four garden-themed suites for guests, each with their own fireplace and private entrances.

The property overlooks Sunlight Beach and Useless Bay. The bed and breakfast is a farm experience, with donkeys, sheep and bunnies (rooms start at $129, 360-321-6288, www.farmhousebb.com).

Being 58 miles long, Whidbey Island has many places to explore while taking in the beauty of this picturesque getaway. Each com-munity is its own shopping experience with a plethora of unique and interesting merchan-dise, some of which was made right here on Whidbey Island.

OAK HARBOR

For those who make their way onto the island via Deception Pass, your first stop should be in Oak Harbor. Whidbey’s largest city, it’s a booming commercial enterprise that offers big-box stores and small businesses alike.

Just off the beaten path is the city’s historic downtown shopping district on Pioneer Way. The recently remodeled area features a collec-tion of shops and merchants who sell fine art by local artists, home decor, custom jewelry and more.

Just Because, a consignment store, contains everything from furniture to Seahawks appar-

el. Shoppers will also find portrait photog-raphy by local photographer Sean Callahan. For younger customers, Gizmo's Skate Shop sells decks, wheels, trucks, bearings, stickers, cloths, shoes and more. It’s a one-stop-shop for all your skateboarding needs. Further down the street is the Garry Oak Gallery, which

features local artists' collections of wood works, pottery and paintings. Also on Pioneer Way is Whidbey Wild Bird, which offers a variety of products such as birdseed and bird feeders to attract beautiful birds to your backyard.

Where to go, what to buy

COUPEVILLE

About 15 minutes south visitors will find Coupeville, Whidbey Island’s historic heart-beat which is nestled within Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve — a unit of the national park system. This waterfront town is home to century-old buildings, a museum and enough small-town shops to keep shoppers browsing for hours.

On Front Street, visitors will find souvenirs and island knickknacks, decorations, gifts,

clothing and locally made treasures galore.Starting with a bit of fun, swing by Far

From Normal; it leads the downtown district in shop with the most wacky and out-of-this-world stuff.

Across the street from Far From Normal is Aqua Gifts, a home decor and accents, gifts and antiques shop.

One of downtown’s newest businesses is the Handbag Consignment Shop, where visitors can purchase high-end designer bags such as Louis Vuitton. A Touch of Dutch features cloth-ing as well as art, delica-cies and souvenirs. For playful children hoping to snag a few toys, be sure to check out local-favorite the Honey Bear. It’s a toy and candy store packed with an array of selections from the educational and old-fashioned to the color-ful and tasty. If you’re thinking you may have missed out on Coupeville’s unique shopping experience, try One More Thing. The shop on Main Street offers clothing, quilts and gifts.

GREENBANK

Greenbank is home to the Greenbank Farm,

which features a mix of businesses. For the tastebuds, Erin Stonefelt has some

of the tastiest cheeses Whidbey has to offer. The shop offers a healthy selection of locally-made cheeses as well as some of the industries finest from around the world. The neigh-

boring Greenbank Wine Shop will complement that palate, offering the perfect pairing to the cheese shop.

For the sweeter side of life, try Whidbey Pies Cafe, owned by Jan Gunn.

The farm also features a number of art galler-ies, including Artworks

Gallery, Raven Rocks Studio, and the Rob Schouten Gallery.

Up the hill from the farm is the famed Greenbank Store, which features a general store with a range of necessities.

retail shops and merchandise to buy. For the technology consumers, be sure to explore Whidbey Telecom’s technology store, located in the phone company’s customer experience center on Main Street. The store has modern gadgets for all your digital needs. Across the other side of the building are the WiFire, offering a cafe selection of food, and Webbs Department store, where you can find all the necessary clothing to bundle up for the winter.

Freeland also offers a number of small stores and an antique mall, which sell everything

from apparel to tea. There are thrift stores that support local nonprofits such as the island’s animal shelter program, Whidbey Animals’ Improvement Foundation.

The area is also home to Napa Auto Parts and Whidbeytronics, a former RadioShack dealer.

LANGLEY

Langley, or more affectionately known as The Village by the Sea, features an eclectic selection of small stores. Find rugs, carpets and textiles from all around the world at Music for the Eyes, located on First Street.

There are many s e c o n d - h a n d clothing and other items to be discov-ered at Good Cheer Thrift Store, where many unexpected treasures can be found.

The town also features jewelry stores like She Sez on First Street and bookstores such as Gregor Rare Books located on Second Street. There are also clothing and accessories to be

found at First Street shops like In the Coun-try or Knitty Purls. Whidbey Island Natural features luxurious organic soaps and lotions which infuse plant oils with healing and fra-grant essential oils.

Mona’s Sweets is Langley’s prime jewel for the sweet tooth consumers and chocolate lovers. Nearby is the Star Store, which is half-grocery store, half-department store with specialty clothing items.

Just up the road from Langley is Bayview, which offers bike rentals at the Half Link Bicycle Shop.

CLINTON

As the southernmost gateway to Whidbey Island, this ferry town should not be passed by. The community has two major shopping areas in Clinton, a small collection of businesses that can be found right off the ferry, and Ken’s Corner, a commercial center a few miles north.

Located a short drive from Clinton’s shop-ping center is Sherren’s Glassworks, which features orca whale glass art, garden art, wind chimes, fused plates and bowls, night lights and dichroic jewelry. Across the street from the shopping center is North Star Trading Com-pany, which offers premium sheepskin slippers that are guaranteed to last for years and may be perfect for bundling up for the cold winter.

Like everything else on Whidbey, visitors have lots of options when it comes to food. The island quite literally offers cuisine to whet any appetite, from fine dining with shoreline views to award winning mom-and-pop eateries.

NORTH WHIDBEY Beginning in Oak Harbor, Frasers Gour-

met Hideaway, (1191 SE Dock St., 360-279-1231) is fine dining at its best. Expect superb filet mignon, perfect scallops, tasty desserts and excellent wine.

Standards are also high at China City (33185 Highway 20, 360-279-8899), widely considered Whidbey’s premiere Chinese food restaurant. This is upscale dining in a casual atmosphere.

Flyers Restaurant & Brewery (32295 High-way 20, 360-675-5858), is a fun restaurant that serves great food and great times. It’s family friendly but is great for an over-21 crowd too.

Zorbas Restaurant (32955 Highway 20, 360-279-8322) is a family affair that serves great Greek and Italian food. Try the Tzatziki dip..

At El Cazador (32195 Highway 20, 360-675-6114) one can expect great Mexican food, and at Island Cafe (32070 Highway 20, 360-279-2838) homestyle cooking. Kyoto Japanese Res-taurant (1341 SW Barlow St., 360-679-1433) and Tokyo Stop Teriyaki (910 NE Midway Blvd., 360-240-9999) both serve great sashimi and sushi, and Seabolts Smokehouse (31640 Highway 20, 360-675-1105) can’t be beat when it comes to fresh caught or smoked salmon.

Other great places include Apple-A-Day Cafe (32170 Highway 20 — inside Island Drug — 360-679-3219), The BBQ Joint (601 NE Midway Blvd., 360- 679-3500), Sweet Rice Thai Cuisine & Spirit (885 SE Pioneer Way, 360-679-8268), Louie-G's New York Style Pizza (31359 Highway 20, 360-240-8999) and Hot Rock Pizza (830 SE Pioneer Way, 360-720-2077).

CENTRAL WHIDBEYIn Coupeville, Christopher’s on Whidbey

(103 NW Coveland, 360-678-5480) is a must stop for those seeking fine dining. Chef Andreas’ menu is well respected. Also highly regarded is Oystercatcher (901 Grace St., 360-0683), which serves dinner, and bayleaf (360-678-6603, 101 NW Coveland), a wine, cheese and deli shop.

Around the corner is Front Street Grill (20 NW Front Street, 360-682-2551). This is upscale dining as well and with a waterfront view. Also on the shoreline is Toby’s Tavern (8 Front Street, 360-678-4222), a longtime local favorite. A bar with good food, this is a place for adults and good memories.

Ciao (701 N Main St., 360-678-0800) serves some of the best pizza around in a restaurant atmosphere, while the Tyee Motel & Restaurant (405 S. Main St., 360-678-6616) is where to go for home-cooked meals.

The Salty Mug is a pastry/soup/coffee shop at the end of the Coupeville Wharf (360-678-

3648), Lavender Wind (15 Coveland St., 360-544-4132) serves tea and scones, and Mosquito Fleet Chili (12 Front St., 360-678-2900) offers hot food on the waterfront.

The Knead & Feed Restaurant (4 Front St., 360-678-5431) and Coupeville Coffee & Bistro (200 S. Main St., 360-682-5832) are great for food and a cup of joe.

Finally, a quick drive south takes you to the Keystone Cafe (12981 Highway 20, 360-678-5396), a ferry front eatery renowned for its fish and chips.

Keep heading south to Green-bank and you'll find Whidbey Pies & Cafe (765 Wonn Road, 360-678-1288) — Jan Gunn's pie is famous — and the Greenbank Grille (25189 Highway 525, 360-678-3300), which serves awe-

some food too.SOUTH WHIDBEY

Shopping for a Good Cause and Quality GoodsOne of the best kept secrets of Island shopping is the quality of merchandise at the thrift stores.

Most of the thrift shops on Whidbey and Camano Islands are run by non-profits who are raising funds for benevolent causes.

Many donations come from folks who are retiring to their summer homes and downsizing their households. This brings many high quality items that are truly gently used.

These stores also are the general stores of the more rural areas of Island County. When you go on vacation and forget some-thing important like beach shoes, you can generally find what you are looking for at the local thrift shop.

The other big draws to our thrift stores are antiques, jewelry, fine art and beautiful furniture. Much of the clothing comes complete with the original labels.

The quality can only be matched but never surpassed by the big city thrift shops.For more information on these High Quality Thrift Shops

Anyone of age with enough money and desire can grab a six pack, 12 pack or even a 22-ounce craft brew bottle from the store.

But they would miss the chance to hobnob with the commuters in Clinton, sit at a handcrafted oak bar in a historic building in Bayview, rub elbows with city leaders in Langley, catch a spell at the old gas station in Greenbank, visit with locals at famous haunts in Coupeville, and enjoy a fresh brew in Oak Harbor.

This far-from comprehen-sive list will start from the South End of Whidbey Island and move north, highlighting some worthwhile spots for a draft beer.

CLINTON Cozy’s Roadhouse is just

up the hill from the ferry and a popular stop for commut-ers, tourists and locals alike. The local standard recently teamed with Ogres Brewing in Clinton for the Cozy’s Ogre India Pale Ale. Food available, full bar, family friendly. Open

11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 11 a.m. to midnight Friday-Saturday, and noon to 10 p.m. Sunday. Located at 8872 Highway 525.

A way off-the-beaten-path spot for a few beers on tap is Bailey’s Corner Store on Cul-tus Bay Road. Food available. Open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week. Located at 7695 Cultus Bay Road.

LANGLEY The newest entry to the

scene is Double Bluff Brew-ing Company, which opened its doors in mid-October. All of its beers are brewed right there, and the owner is most likely the guy pouring the pint. Available are a porter, Belgian dubbel, Sticke Alt-bier, Kolsch, red India pale ale, white India pale ale, and an Oktoberfest. Open 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday-Friday, 2 to 8 p.m. Saturday-Sunday. Located at 112 Anthes Ave.

Kalakala Co. Mercan-tile is one of the trendier places for food and drink in town. Known for its ramen

bowls, coffee and tea, soups, salads, sandwiches and beer are also available. The own-ers rotate microbrews, so be prepared for something dif-ferent. Food available, family friendly. Open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday, 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Friday-Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. Located at 138 2nd St.

Mo’s Pub & Eatery is an English-style pub with well-respected bangers and mash. At least a handful of taps are ready, with standard Eng-lish drinks such as Guinness, Harp and Strongbow cider, plus a few other staples. Pub fare covers the gamut and is not exclusive to the United Kingdom’s cuisine. Live music is common on weekends. Food available, full bar, fam-ily friendly. Located at 317 Second St.

One of the busier places in town is Village Pizzeria, and for good reason. It has a stunning view of Saratoga Passage, consistently deli-cious pizza and five draft beers, four of which are Puget Sound staples (Mac, Pyramid hefeweizen, Pike IPA, Iron

Horse Irish Death) plus Italian Peroni, with bottled classics. Food available, full bar, family friendly. Open every day 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Located at 106 1st St.

Outside Langley city limits and back toward the high-way heading north, is a craft beer drinker’s oasis: The Taproom at Bayview Cor-ner. The taphouse rotates 10 beers and two ciders on tap, plus at least a couple dozen different bottled varieties are refrigerated. Those who fre-quent the watering hole often enough can qualify for the Big Mug Club. Most drafts on tap cost $5 to $7. Seating was recently expanded and there’s a food list with surefire hits like a basket of bacon, crab cakes, Cuban pork sandwich and meatball sub. Food avail-able, family friendly. Open 4 to 10 p.m. Monday-Tuesday, noon to 10 p.m. Wednesday-Thursday, noon to midnight Friday-Saturday, and noon to 10 p.m. Sunday. Located at 5603 Bayview Road.

Blueberry Hill (5438 S. Woodard Ave., 360-331-7515) is synonymous with fine dining. Expect exquisite food and a view. Also, in case you missed China City in Oak Harbor, they have a restaurant here as well (1804 Scott Road, Freeland; 360-331-8899).

Freeland Cafe is an old favorite (1642 E. Main St., 360-331-9945); think of it as the com-munity diner everyone back home loves. Also first-class is Glass Alley Cafe (5575 Harbor

Ave. 360-331-0343) and Bubba Burger (18273 Highway 525, 360-907-3733).

Bayview offers some great eats too, with Basil Cafe (5603 Bayview Road, 360-321-7898), Flower House Cafe at Bayview Farm & Gar-den (2780 Marshview Ave., 360-321-6789) Neil’s Clover Patch (14485 Highway 525, 360-321-4120) and Joe’s Wood Fired Pizza (2815 Howard Road, 360-321-1819).

Head down the road a bit to Langley, a tiny community with much to offer the palate. The French-inspired Northwest eats Prima Bistro

(201 1/2 First St., 360-221-4060) is phenomenal. The Braeburn (197 D. Second St., 360-221-

3211) and Cafe Langley (113 First St., 360-221-3090) are excellent choices and you can’t go wrong with Village Pizzeria (106 1ST St., 360-221-3363).

And in Clinton, Pickles Deli (11042 High-way 525, 360-341-3940) has the best sandwich-es on Whidbey while Cozy’s Roadhouse (8872 Highway 525, 360-341-2838) is a community favorite. It’s where to get a great brew, steak or bowl of seafood chowder.

FREELAND China City is the most pop-

ular and crowded bar in the area on weekend nights. Its lounge is large and has a mix of bar stools and regular tables with a range of common, popu-lar brews. Food available, full bar, family friendly. Open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday-Friday and Sunday, and 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. Located on 1804 Scott Road.

Another popular spot for a good draft is Freeland Cafe. More of a classic diner vibe than a raucous bar or a craft-brew taphouse, it has enough selection to satisfy the thirsty visitor. Food available, full bar, family friendly. Open every day 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Located at 1642 E. Main St.

GREENBANK The appropriately named

Greenbank Grille is the only

spot for miles that sports a bar and restaurant. Food available, full bar, family friendly. Open noon to 4 p.m. Friday-Sunday for lunch, 4 to 9 p.m. Thurs-day-Sunday for dinner. Locat-ed at 25189 Highway 525.

COUPEVILLE A pair of locals’ haunts are

equally inviting to tourists as must-visits. The Tyee Restau-rant & Motel has a bar popular after work hours. Food avail-

able, full bar, family friendly. Open 6:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. every day. Located at 405 S. Main St.

Toby’s Tavern on the Coupeville waterfront is about as iconic as any watering hole in the state. Order the fish and chips and a pint and take it all in. Food available, full bar. Open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sun-day-Thursday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday-Saturday. Located at 8 N.W. Front St.

Finally, Front Street Grill offers a cozy bar with a water-

front view. This is a fine res-taurant with fancy food and spirits. Hours are 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday. Located at 20 Front St.

OAK HARBOR Long the kings of craft

brews on Whidbey Island, Fly-ers Restaurant and Brewery is the crowned jewel of locally-made beer. With family seating areas, anyone can go and grab a pint or two so long as they’re 21 years old, while still having dinner with their children. A major bonus is the 2 to 6 p.m. daily happy hour for $3 Fly-ers pints. Food available, full bar. Open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday, Thursday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday, 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday, 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday. Located at 32295 Highway 20.

Of all the outdoor recreation opportu-nities on Whidbey Island, some are best enjoyed during the winter months.

Birding is one of those.The fall and winter migration period

bring both an abundance and wide variety of birds to Whidbey, making the island a popular destination for birds and birders alike during the winter months.

“Winter is awesome,” said Govinda Rosling, a birder from Clinton and mem-ber of the Whidbey Audubon Society. “There are no leaves on the trees.

“There’s no bad weather, just bad cloth-ing. You bundle up, maybe bring a thermos of coffee. Sometimes, birding will be windy on one side of the island, so you go to the other side of the island.”

Birding is one of the most popular win-ter-time outdoor recreation opportunities

on Whidbey.Yet, it’s not the only activity that capital-

izes on the island’s scenic beauty during the colder months.

Most of the island’s state parks remain open for day use during winter, meaning visitors may take nature strolls or hike the trails. The exception is Joseph Whidbey State Park, where the gate will be closed but the park can still be accessed by foot and enjoyed.

Want overnight camping? Deception Pass and Fort Casey state parks offer this opportunity during the winter.

Winter also is a time to visit typically crowded destinations in more solitude. State parks matching that description would be Deception Pass, Fort Casey, Fort Ebey and Ebey’s Landing.

“It’s almost a better time of the year,”

said Jon Crimmins, area manager of Central Whidbey State Parks. “You have

The visual-arts scene is alive and thriv-ing on Whidbey Island, say those who are active in the field. Winter visitors can check out nearly a dozen galleries and can visit 24 artists’ studios on a self-guided tour.

“This island has everything from inter-nationally known artists to senior-citizen painters,” said Don Wodjenski, president of the Whidbey Island Arts Council, a group that offers not-for-profit status to arts organizations and supports art educa-tion in schools.

Involved with the council since the early 2000s, Wodjenski said the quality and quantity of artists on the island is steadily improving.

“It’s just getting better. There’s the full spectrum of art forms,” he said.

Numerous other organizations on the island also help promote the visual arts. Whidbey Working Artists coordinates a summer tour of artists’ studios. Whidbey Art Trail (www.whidbeyarttrail.com) offers a self-guided, year-round tour of studios and art galleries.

Mary Ellen O’Connor, a member of the steering committees of both those groups and a metal smith herself, agreed with Wodjenski’s assessment.

“Whidbey Island is becoming known as an art destination,” she said. “It’s more vibrant here than ever before.”

The following galleries, listed from south to north, offer work from multiple artists. The four co-ops are galleries controlled by the artists who display there. Galleries that feature only their owners’ works are not included.

This listing is meant to be representative, not all-inclusive.

Escape the chill and take a seat at one of Whidbey’s many wintertime performing arts productions.

Journey to distant lands at one of the island’s theatrical venues, or delight in aural pleasures at one of its many concerts.

The South End, particularly Langley, is arguably the keystone of performing arts on Whidbey, holding the island’s largest venue, Whidbey Island Center for the Arts, a chil-dren’s theater and dance theater, as well as being home to two of the island’s orchestras. But the Whidbey Playhouse represents North Whidbey’s many talented performers with a season full of theatrical gold.

The Playhouse will jumpstart the winter season by taking a trip back in time with James Goldman’s historical dramatic comedy, “A Lion in Winter.”

Stan Thomas directs the stage production of this 1968 Academy Award-winning show, set in 1168 in the court of King Henry II.

The show will run through Nov. 22. Next is Landon Smith’s comedic spin on a

holiday classic, “A Dickens’ Christmas Carol: A Traveling Travesty in Two Acts” directed by Julia Locke and Kevin Wm Meyer.

This show runs Dec. 4-20. The laughs keep coming with “Moon Over

Buffalo,” a farcical comedy by Ken Ludwig,

directed by Bob Hendrix. Tickets to most shows cost $20 for musicals

and $18 for non-musicals. Whidbey Island Center for the Arts

(WICA) is also going for laughs this winter with two events sure to get audiences giggling.

The Seattle International Comedy Compe-tition (SICC) will start things off on Nov. 14 when over selected 30 comedians will compete on the Whidbey stage as a part of the annual contest, a tour throughout the Pacific North-west judged by locals and celebrities.

Preceding the event, WICA will host a no-cover BrewHaHa featuring an open mic and brews by Diamond Knot Brewery.

Tickets to SICC cost $22. In December, the Addams Family will add

a dash of dark comedy to the holiday season with “The Addams Family —  A Musical” directed by Lani Brockman.

Tickets cost $24 for adults; $20 for seniors or military; and $17 for youth or matinees. The show will open Dec. 4 and end Dec. 19.

Whidbey Children’s Theater’s productions showcase young thespians’ talents in plays the whole family can enjoy.

This year, they’ll enchant with a spin on a classic tale popularized by Disney, “Disney’s

Beauty and the Beast Jr.” This main stage production features songs from the Acad-emy Award-winning animated feature and includes a cast in grades three-12. Directed by Melanie Lowey and Bonnie Stinson, this play will run Nov. 13 through 21.

Next up is a WCTeen Black Box Produc-tion, Agatha Christie’s engrossing murder mystery, “The Mousetrap.” This show fea-tures WCT’s teen actors in grades nine-12 and is directed by David Mayer.

The third show is another stage adaptation of a children’s story time favorite, “The Tale of Peter Rabbit,” based on the books by Beatrix Potter. The show will run Feb. 19-28.

General admission tickets cost $8 for stu-dents ages 18 and younger and $16 for adults and seniors.

Whidbey Island Dance Theatre will con-tinue its 23-year run of the classic fantastical Christmas tale, “The Nutcracker” featuring both local dancers and guests. The show will open Dec. 11 and close Dec. 20. Performances will be held at the South Whidbey High School Performing Arts Center. Advanced-purchase general admission tickets cost $20; $17 for seniors, military and children under age 17. Tickets at the door cost $24 for adults and $22 for children, military and seniors.

Non-theatrical musical performances will also be in abundance this season.

Whidbey Island Center for the Arts will present “Notes from the Heart,” a multi-media presentation and celebration of piano by acclaimed musician Jody Graves. Tickets cost $18 for adults; $10 for youth; and $45 for a family of any size.

Give thanks with the Walker family dur-ing “Walker Family Thanksgiving,” Nov. 21. This celebration of the harvest, life cycles and family will feature original and traditional songs performed by one of Whidbey’s most musical families, Amy Walker, Paul Houser and Tom and Claudia Walker.

Tickets cost $22. The Whidbey Island Community Orches-

tra, conducted by Cynthia Morrow, features musicians from a variety of backgrounds and experience levels. The orchestra will put on two concerts in December. The first will take place Dec. 4 at St. Augustines in-the-Woods, and the second Dec. 6 at the First Reformed Church in Oak Harbor.

Whidbey’s Saratoga Orchestra, conducted by Anna Edwards, will put on a medley of performances throughout the season, begin-ning with its special Holiday Concert Dec. 5 in the Coupeville High School Commons. Carry on the holiday spirit Dec. 27, with the orchestra’s Gold and Silver Ball at the Use-less Bay Golf and Country Club. On January 23-24, Saratoga Orchestra will perform a pair of shows entitled “Whit and Whimsy” at the South Whidbey and Oak Harbor high schools, respectively. Next, the orchestra will bring a bit of New Orleans to Whidbey with a Mardi-Gras-themed performance, Inter-

mezzo VIII Gala Dinner and Auction Feb. 6. Wrapping up the winter season is “Viva Vivaldi,” March 5-6 at South Whidbey High School and the Oak Harbor First Reformed Church, respectively.

Tickets cost $25 per adult and $20 per senior or military member. Youth and stu-dents under age 18 are free.

Kettles Trail System on Central Whidbey.Jack Hartt, manager of Deception Pass

State Park, the state’s most visited state park, said he enjoys getting out and taking in some of his favorite winter-time hikes such as Goose Rock, Lighthouse Point, Kiket Island and Dugual-la. He said these lowland hikes range from an hour to three hours on mostly good terrain.

Whidbey’s winter winds, particularly on the west side, welcome extreme adventurers.

Surfers come to the beaches near Fort Ebey to ride the waves in the winter.

Kiteboarders also hit the west side. Start-ing in the late fall, and sometimes stretching into December, the wind invites kiteboard-ers to Crockett Lake in Coupeville and Double Bluff Beach in Freeland.

Another opportunity to get out on the water is kayaking. The Whidbey Island Kayaking Company, based at the Langley Marina, is open year-round for kayak tours, weather permitting.

If wildlife viewing if part of your outdoor recreation pursuit, Whidbey has no shortage of blacktail deer. A can’t-miss place to see them during the winter is Fort Casey State Park or nearby Camp Casey.

It’s possible to spot Southern Resi-dent Orcas in the winter in waters around Whidbey, particularly Admiralty Inlet, Pos-session Sound and Saratoga Passage. They

are seen from October through January.

Transient orcas show up year-round and it’s pos-sible, though more rare, to spot a humpback whale during the winter.

The best birding spots are Crockett Lake, Deer Lagoon and the Crescent

Harbor Marshes. They are sites identified as Important Birding Areas by the National Audubon Society because of their pristine habitat.

Whidbey is located in the Pacific Flyway, a north-south migration path for birds. In the fall and winter, a variety of birds arrive from Alaska, British Columbia and other northern reaches.

Steve Ellis, a long time birding enthu-siast from Coupeville who leads field trips with the Whidbey Audubon Society, said

that Whidbey Island also receives birds from Eastern Washington and Idaho for the winter as well as those that come from higher elevations in the Cascade and Olym-pic mountain ranges — all with the common goal of fleeing the freeze.

“It’s fabulous,” Whidbey Audubon mem-ber Sarah Schmidt said of the island’s winter birding. “In a lot of ways, winter birding is superior to summer birding because of your ability to see a lot of birds.”

Whidbey is home to a healthy popula-tion of bald eagles that will travel to rivers in search of spawning salmon but tend to return to the island during the winter months.

Other raptors, waterfowl and seabirds are common sights during the winter months and will be counted during Audubon’s annu-al Christmas Bird Count. There will be a North Whidbey count held Dec. 19 and a South Whidbey count Jan. 2.

The Whidbey Audubon Society par-ticipates in weekly birding field trips on the island through the winter and offers a monthly guided field trip.

One of the biggest winter-time attractions is the red-throated loon that can be seen near Deception Pass in December and January.

“It attracts just about every birding group around,” Ellis said.

Thousands of snow geese and trumpeter swans also frequent the river deltas around North Puget Sound during the late winter with some stopping over at Dugualla Bay on North Whidbey.

The best bet for fishing around Whidbey in the winter is blackmouth in Admiralty Inlet (Marine Area 9) in November. Black-mouth is an immature, Puget Sound resi-dent Chinook salmon. November also can be a good month to catch chum salmon in Admiralty Inlet.

Whidbey offers limited hunted oppor-tunities; check http://wdfw.wa.gov/hunting for details.
