When it comes to the Island, you heard it here For over 85 Years, we’ve been providing Whidbey Island with excellent coverage of local news & events. We give you in-depth profiles of local characters, from politicians to community leaders to the quiet hometown heroes among us. Twice a week we explore the issues that Whidbey Islanders care about, from land development to school issues. We have a thorough calendar of events, and we provide a forum for islanders’ opinions in our Letters to the Editor page. Our classifieds are a great marketplace. If you don’t already subscribe to The South Whidbey Record (covering the south end of the island, including Greenbank) or The Whidbey News-Times (covering Coupeville north to Deception Pass), it is time to enrich your island experience. Call us today to subscribe. (877) 316-7276. This calendar is published by the staff of and as a special supplement to The South Whidbey Record • 877-316-7276
