I lived in Whidbey for a year. Very strong sense of community there. Also hard to escape the incestuous gossip in a community that close. Like with everything it has it’s pros and cons.

Speaking of hat Island, I would love a small piece of property there. It only has about 50 full-time residence and you can’t even get to the island unless you yourself are a resident or be guest of a resident. There is a private ferry that only runs on weekends, otherwise you need a private boat.

That’s the most common usage I hear as well. Maybe “the islands” were referring to Whidbey and Hat island 🤷‍♂️.

This picture specifically I know is Whidbey island.
