People Make This Town

The aquatic life of Penn Cove and Admiralty Inlet, as well as Ebey's Prairie, attracted native Americans to the area. Isaac Ebey and Captain Thomas Coupe were instrumental in European settlement of Central Whidbey. Today, town leadership draws from retired military, educators and businesspeople. Volunteers are the driving force behind activities as diverse as the Arts & Crafts Festival, Penn Cove Mussel Festival, Concerts on the Cove, Island County Historical Society, and many other civic programs.

Visit Coupeville, On Scenic Whidbey Island

Come to Coupeville, and come closer to art, history, and nature. This quiet waterfront farming community—the hub of Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve on scenic Whidbey Island—still reflects the character of a frontier seaport when Puget Sound was being settled.
Beyond its historical significance, Coupeville and its surroundings offer a combination of geography, flora and fauna that lift spirits and fill the heart. From the Madrona Way shoreline of Penn Cove to the beach and bluff at Ebey's Landing, you'll share space with farmers and bald eagles, gray whales and bicyclists, sea otters and kayakers.
Visit, enjoy ... return.

Creativity In Coupeville

Coupeville is a Mecca for artists of all stripes: visual, performing and culinary. Visual artists in every medium find inspiration in the shorelines, forests, prairies and waters of Central Whidbey, as well as in the structures and spirit of the town of Coupeville. Many are attracted to hone their talents at the Coupeville Arts Center. Some settle here to assimilate the aura. Their studios and galleries offer literal and figurative representations of the life and landscape of Coupeville, executed as paintings, photographs, pottery, baskets, jewelry, woodcarving and more.
Food artistry is manifested in a range of dining opportunities. The coffee shops, chocolate purveyor, cafes and restaurants are all conducted with individuality and creativity.
