The Victoria Clipper brings nearly 200 people each time it visits.
Clipper visits bring boost to economy Once again, the Victoria Clipper will be making stops this spring, bringing hundreds of visitors for two-hour stops to downtown Coupeville. The gray whale touring boat started incorporating the two-hour Coupeville lunch break into tours four years ago. Coupeville Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Lynda Eccles said the partnership is a great way to bring people and extra money into the town. In 2014, the Clipper will arrive at approximately noon and leave at 2 p.m. on April 5-6, April 12-13, April 26-27, May 4 and May 10-11. On May 17-18, there will be a 4 p.m. arrival and 6 p.m. departure. The boat docks at Coupeville Wharf, where they are greeted by members of the chamber. Eccles said she sends the touring company electronic versions of a Coupeville map and dining information, which is printed and provided to customers when they board the boat. “We make it easy for them,” Eccles said. Passengers then have two hours to explore downtown, get a bite to eat and do some shopping. In the later sailings, Eccles said the farmers market also sees visitors. Each boat can bring up to 200 people, but Eccles said numbers usually run anywhere from 160-180 people. “It’s a pretty good amount of people,” she said. “If you figure $10 per person for lunch. That doesn’t include the shopping and the ice creams they get or the coffees.” In 2013, Coupeville hosted 12 sailings with 1,734 passengers. “It’s fun and I’m proud we got it here,” Eccles said. “We have actually had people come back and stay. “All the promotion and time we put into greeting is worth it.”

Plan in works for Front St. building By Megan Hansen Editor
Plans for Front Street’s only vacant building could breathe new life into the historic structure and offer multiple retail and office spaces in the commercial district. Proposed changes to the old Mad Crab building, owned by Thom Kroon, include a mixed use of retail, office and residential space. Kroon’s proposal calls for the creation of four spaces on the street level floor, two retail and two retail/office spaces. The floor below street level, which was once a bar, is proposed to be turned into two spaces, one residential and one undetermined use, said Coupeville Town Planner Bridget Smith. An attic space on the third level is also proposed to be turned into a residential space. The project has been informally presented to the Historic Preservation Commission, but will be presented formally in April. Smith said the next meeting of the HPC is Thursday, April 24, but if a meeting is called earlier she will present the proposal then.
Former Coupeville Town Planner Larry Kwarsick is serving as the applicant agent on the project. He said in addition to getting approved by the HPC, the project must also obtain a shoreline substantial development permit. “There is no expansion of the building footprint or height being proposed,” Kwarsick said, “and the project does come with a new stairway to the beach that will be available for the public.” The initial proposal presented to the HPC was returned because it didn’t meet the guidelines set by Ebey’s Landing Historical Reserve, Smith said. Some modifications to the proposal in-
clude changing the material proposed for the roof and creating a clear definition between the historic part of the building and the addition. The initial proposal also identified the two spaces below street level as residential, however, code says there can only be one residential space per level, Smith said. Some of the proposed changes to the water-facing side of the structure include creating a slanted roof in the back. “The purpose of the project is to bring the historic structure back to an architectural style more consistent with the original (c. 1870’s) of this and other buildings on N.W.

Canoe restoration is nearly complete By Michelle Beahm Staff Reporter
After two years of hard work, a 170-year-old canoe that once belonged to Chief Snakelum is almost finished being restored. Rick Castellano, executive director of the Island County Historical Museum, has taken a personal interest in the historic canoe and is even putting the finishing touches on it himself. “It’s been a goal of mine to get this restored ever since I got here eight years ago,” Castellano said. With very little left to do, Castellano took charge of painting the exterior of the canoe. However, restorers are reluctant to paint the interior of the canoe at all, partially to allow viewers to see the hard, complicated work that went into restoring the canoe as authentically as possible, but also to avoid covering up the remnants of the original paint. This type of canoe, a popular style that was, according to Castellano, “like the Model T Ford of canoes,” and was always painted black on the outside, and usually red on the inside. This canoe, however, was painted blue on the inside. Because of it’s unusual color, the historical society wants to leave the interior of the canoe unpainted. Chief Charlie Snakelum

He lived from 1843 to 1943, according to the National Park Service.

Between that and years of people picking off parts of the canoe for souvenirs, there was a lot of work to be done. “It’s just been worth every minute of it,” Castellano said. “A once in a lifetime opportunity for everyone involved.” Once the restoration is complete, the canoe will be moved to the Swinomish Lodge for a few months while the museum’s basement is prepared for the new exhibit. “It will live indoors for the rest of its days,” said Castellano, of the canoe. “It will be the centerpiece of our new Native American exhibit.” Often, restorations are
was Gordon Grant who did the majority of the work and much of the intricate fittings for the round patches. Jim Short was brought in for the finishing touches before Castellano started painting. Other than the painting, all that is left in the restoration is to finish caulking the cracks on the inside of the canoe, with the traditional cedar bark, although the restoration is being done with cedar bark saturated with water-based glue, instead of the traditional tree pitch. “When we moved the canoe, it was a wonder it didn’t fall apart, because of the cracks,” Castellano said.
forgone on historical artifacts to preserve the original pieces, but Castellano wanted this canoe to last for years. “This is one of maybe two or three left of this age,” he said. “I don’t mean in Washington, I mean anywhere. It’s just a beautiful example of craftsmanship.” Castellano expressed hope that the exhibit and canoe would be ready by early summer, and plans on a community celebration when it is brought back to Coupeville. He called the celebration “the culmination of a twoyear project and a long-term goal,” and a welcome home party for the canoe.

Reserve farmers want pot option
Greenbank Post Office requires higher boxes
By Janis Reid Staff Reporter
With the new addition of the standardized Long Life Vehicles, or LLVs, the Greenbank Post Office is requiring its customers raise their mailboxes by as much as a foot. Behind the mandate is a nationwide consolidation of routes, and the postal service-owned LLVs are now being issued out for use on routes that previously relied on employees’ to use their own vehicles to deliver mail. Because LLVs are higher off the ground, mail carriers must unbuckle their seat belts and lean out the window to deliver mail. That, according to the postal service, is a safety hazard. Greenbank received
Farmers in Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve told planning commissioners last week that they don’t want any farming restrictions placed on them - including those involving recreational marijuana. The draft land-use regulations, which were reviewed by the Island County Planning Commission last week, singled out Ebey’s Reserve, limiting farmers to the smallest tier of production operations, which is 2,000 square feet or less. Processing and retail were not allowed on the reserve under the draft landuse regulations. Based on feedback from farmers, the planning commission directed staff to remove the section about Ebey’s Reserve in the second draft, which was reviewed by the commission Tuesday morning. “My whole issue with the ordinance is the section on Ebey’s Reserve,” reserve resident Wilbur Bishop told planning commissioners last week. “I think you should remove it.” Bishop said he didn’t think Ebey’s Reserve farmers should be held to a different standard because it sets a bad precedence. He said restrictions should be the same county wide. “It’s going to be a bad situation down the road,” Bishop said. “I don’t want to be treated any different.” The county issued a six-

The state accepted a first round of applications for marijuana business licenses Nov. 18 to Dec. 20. A total of 30 applications were made by potential growers, 20 applications for processing and nine applications for retail stores in Island County. Judy Harvey, another reserve property owner, submitted several letters into the public record Tuesday, written and signed by herself and her neighbors in favor of lifting reserve restrictions. “I do not support the
county putting additional restrictions on the farmers of Ebey’s Reserve,” Judy Harvey said. Kristen Griffin, who assumed her role as reserve manager last month, said that “opportunities to engage in the workshops didn’t occur,” and that the reserve trust board is eager to weigh in on the restriction after their regular afternoon March 25 meeting. The results of the trust board meeting was not available by press time. “I think it’s important that the reason this (restriction) ended up in the ordinance is a concern for a special place,” Griffin said last week. “I appreciate that.” Dean Enell and other planning commissioners said
they were open to “scrapping” the restriction on Ebey’s Reserve based on farmer comments. “To me, the purpose of the reserve is keeping agriculture flourishing,” Enell said. Chairwoman Val Hillers said that of the 19 farms in Ebey’s Reserve, the planning commission had received signed letters from a number of the farmers. The planning commission is hoping to get the land-use regulations approved in time for an ordinance to be passed by the Island County Board of Commissioners by the end of the six-month moratorium, May 13.

Port needs to be proactive, not reactive
Megan Hansen Some perspective
For the first time in a long time — or perhaps ever — the Port of Coupeville has money to spare. The time is ripe to invest in the historic structures under the port’s care, instead of just reacting to problems. Currently, the board has a long list of projects and problems, from repairing rusty nails and rotting boards on the wharf to dealing with the septic system at Greenbank
Farm. Most recently, safety concerns closed the public beach access by the port office. What was originally thought of as a stairwell issue turned out to be much larger, involving the port office foundation and bulkhead. Recent estimates put just engineering costs at $17,500. Not only is the port tasked with wisely spending taxpayer dollars, but it’s tasked with caring for and maintaining two historic properties at two sites — the Coupeville wharf and the Greenbank Farm. Port officials said at their most recent meeting they in past years they took a reactive approach to dealing with repairs and took the bandaid approach when doing so. The port has a $335,000 windfall that officials have yet to decide how to spend. The money was gained by selling commercial developments rights to some property on Wonn Road at Greenbank Farm through the Conservations Futures Funds program. In its regular 2014 budget, commissioners allocated roughly $70,000 for maintenance projects and repairs. That budget covered roughly seven items on the list, stopping at the stairwell project. The port’s board of directors recently hired a fulltime handyman to address maintenance problems, which is a good first step in taking a proactive approach to dealing with problems. Officials need to lay out a plan with those additional funds so it can continue down the past of being proactive rather than reactive. — Megan Hansen is editor of The Whidbey Examiner.

Red Cross requires community support Editor, During March, the American Red Cross recognizes and thanks the nation’s Everyday Heroes who give of themselves and, in some way, help their community. The American Red Cross is synonymous with helping people, and has been doing so for more than 130 years. This year, during Red Cross Month, we encourage everyone to discover their “inner hero” by giving time to help a neighbor, make a financial donation or take a class in First Aid and CPR. It’s also a great time to become a Red Cross volunteer or work on a preparedness plan or kit for your household so you
will be ready for emergencies. The Islands Chapter of the Red Cross, which covers Whidbey, Fidalgo, and the San Juan Islands, is looking for people in our communities to honor who have demonstrated heroism through acts of courage or whose contributions and commitment to their community make them everyday heroes. Do you know someone who should be recognized? Send us a nomination, preferably by April 1, for this year’s awards. Nominees must live, work, or have performed their act of heroism in the Islands Chapter service area. The awards event will be held 6 p.m. Friday, May 2 at at the Anacortes waterfront event center known as The Transit Shed. The easiest way to nominate a hero
is to fill out the form online at www. redcross.org/islandschaper - click on the Celebrate our Community Heroes link, then click the Nominate a Hero button. Or, download the form and mail to Islands Chapter, American Red Cross, P.O. Box 249, Anacortes, WA 98221 abd email to mike.stamper@redcross.org or fax to 360-293-0101. Communities depend on the Red Cross in times of need, and the Red Cross depends on the support of the public to achieve its mission. We welcome your donations and participation to help us continue to provide shelter, food, emotional support and other necessities to those affected by disasters.

Hellebores remind us spring is coming toni grove sowin ’n’ the trowel Like red flowering currants and many rosemarys, the hellebores are now in bloom — right about the time you were starting to think you’d give up your left arm for some color in the garden. Their flowers aren’t what they seem. Instead of petals, hellebores have five sepals that don’t wither and fall like petals would. For this reason, you can expect to enjoy your hellebore
flowers for weeks, sometimes even months. Often called the Christmas or Lenten Rose, this very frost-tolerant member of the Ranunculaceae family hails from Europe and brings with it a surprising amount of myth and folklore. For example, ancient magicians are said to have used it in invisibility and protection spells, as well as for banishings and exorcisms. For witches, it may have been one of the ingredients included in the formula they employed to get their brooms airborne. In the Christian tradition, the first hellebore sprang from the snow when a little girl who had no gift for the Christ Child shed a tear. And some scholars specu-
late that Alexander the Great was actually killed by an overdose of hellebore while being treated for another illness. Of all those stories, the last is the most likely to have occurred. Hellebores are indeed poisonous and were even used by the Greek army back in 585 BC in one of the first instances of chemical warfare. So care should be taken when working with this plant; always wear gloves and avoid letting the sap touch your skin. Despite having such a fierce reputation, hellebores are pretty easy to care for. Put them in dappled shade in a spot with well-drained, deep, rich soil that’s protected from heavy winds. This makes them prefect understo-
ry plants along side of taller companions in the garden. If their leaves start to look ratty while they’re in bloom or if they obscure your view of the flowers, cut them back to the ground. Cut off spent flower stalks to encourage more flowers, and then make sure you cut everything back in December or January to encourage new growth. If your hellebores have been in the ground for a few years and never bloom, they may be in too deep of shade. This could be a miscalculation on your part when you planted it, or it could just be that the surrounding plants have all taken off and now your little hellebore is in the dark. Or it could be that it just needs a good dose of fertil-
izer. If you do decide to move a hellebore, know that they are deep rooted and don’t like to be disturbed. That being said, try to get the entire root system and as much soil as you can when you dig it up in autumn. Then expect it to sulk for the next year or two before it reblooms. Better yet, divide it while it’s out of the ground and kill two birds with one stone. They’re easy to propagate by division, but many of them also produce seeds that may lead to the happy discovery of more tiny hellebores hiding in the shade with “mom.” What’s best about hellebores, however, is that they’re great reminders that spring really is right around the corner.
History shows us the total costs of crude oil By E. Kirsten Peters
Energy companies work night and day to bring us oil and the many products made from it. Most of that work is uneventful and unseen by the public. But when things go wrong, a disaster of epic proportions can ensue. Twenty five years ago — on the night of March 23, 1989 — the Exxon Valdez left the Alaskan port of Valdez filled with 53 million gallons of crude oil from the North Slope. The story of what happened after the giant ship, nearly 1,000 feet long, left the dock is documented by Angela Day in her new book, Red Light to Starboard: Recalling the Exxon Valdez Disaster (WSU Press). Day tells the story of how the captain of the Valdez
made some fateful decisions, including turning over the ship’s controls to a junior officer. Despite warnings from the lookout, within minutes the ship slammed into Bligh Reef, where it was grounded. As later inspection would reveal, the 7/8- inch steel hull had been punctured by the force of the impact of the ship on the reef. Day’s book relates the story of what happened to Alaskans — particularly fishermen and people who relied on the pristine waters of Prince William Sound for their living — in the wake of the Exxon Valdez spill. The events of just one night were to change the lives of thousands of fishermen for many years. The book centers on the story of one fisherman
and brings to life the personal impacts of the spill. Following one person through the aftermath of the spill makes for a good read that illuminates the full cost some people in our society pay for our use of petroleum. The giant spill launched enormous legal battles. Many millions of dollars of fines and compensation were imposed on Exxon. But corporate payments, however large, have not fully restored parts of Prince William Sound. While the salmon catch and prices did eventually rebound, other parts of the fishing industry, such as the bait herring season, the spring roe herring fishery and a pot shrimp fishery, have not recovered. At this point, it remains a challenge to pre-
dict whether the fish and the wildlife of the Sound will ever recover to what they were before the spill. What can we learn from the Exxon Valdez disaster and its aftermath? Day’s book points out that Alaskans from various walks of life had raised safety concerns before that fateful night 25 years ago. As she argues, employees in giant companies can be encouraged to raise safety issues rather than ignore them or remain silent for fear of reprisal. We need corporate cultures that value, rather than penalize, workers who raise safety concerns. We can learn more from the tragedy that unfolded 25 years ago. Day’s book is a good place to start cogitating on the full costs of the petro-

Coupeville spring teams off to good start By Jim Waller Staff Reporter
The Coupeville High School athletic teams opened the spring season with a solid start, compiling a combined 6-3 record and some glittering individual performances in track. The baseball team won two of three in its series with South Whidbey, the softball and soccer squads each won their openers and the tennis team split four matches.
Baseball: Wolves win South Whidbey series
The Wolves won 8-4 at South Whidbey Monday, March 17, defeated the visiting Falcons 6-1 Wednesday, March 19, and lost 10-9 at South Whidbey Friday, March 21. In the opener, the Wolves struggled on offense but used a good defense, a solid pitching performance by Ben Etzell and aggressive base running to flatten the Falcons. Etzell, who threw a complete game, had only one hiccup, the third inning when South Whidbey bunched four hits for three runs. After the third, Etzell limited the Falcons to three singles; two were infield hits. The Falcons hung onto the lead until the fifth inning. “Up to that point their pitcher pretty much stymied us,” coach Willie Smith said. Korbin Korzan led off the fifth with a walk, then backto-back singles by Cole Payne and Josh Bayne produced a run. Kurtis Smith walked to load the bases. Bad throws by the Falcons on grounders by Jake Tumblin and Morgan Payne kept the inning going and allowed the Wolves to take a 5-3 lead. Coupeville put the game away in the seventh with RBI singles by Etzell and Aaron Curtin. In the second game, Curtin limited the Falcons to only five hits over six innings and struck out six. He was aided by several key defensive plays, and C.J. Smith pitched a 1-2-3 seventh. Coupeville scored in the first on an RBI single by Morgan Payne. After South Whidbey tied it in the top of the fourth, the Wolves answered in their half. Curtin singled, moved up on Korzan’s bunt and scored on an error. Doubles by Korzan and Wade Schaef highlighted a three-run fifth. In the sixth, Bayne singled, stole second and scored on Tumblin’s single. Tumblin finished 2-for-4

Wade Schaef pitches in relief at South Whidbey Friday. The Wolves took two of three from the Falcons in the opening series. with an RBI and three stolen bases. South Whidbey used a four-run seventh inning to come from behind and salvage a win in the series finale. After trailing the entire game, Coupeville exploded for eight runs in the fifth. Morgan Payne ripped a tworun single and Bayne hit a bases-clearing double to highlight the uprising. The Wolves made several mental errors, according to coach Smith, to allow the Falcons to rally in the seventh. Bayne was 3-for-4 with a double and three RBI, and Aaron Trumbull went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs. Coupeville (2-1) plays two non-league games on the road this week, going to Concrete (1-2) at 4 p.m. Thursday, March 27, and Nooksack Valley (1-2) at 1 p.m. Saturday, March 29.
Soccer: CHS posts shutout in opener
Abraham Leyva scored two goals and keeper Joel Walstad and the Coupeville defense shutout visiting Friday Harbor 3-0 Tuesday, March 18. The win helped first-year coach Kyle Nelson pick up a victory in his varsity coaching debut. Leyva scored midway
through the first half, knocking in a rebound off a shot by Sean Donley. The Wolves, though they had several opportunities, didn’t score again until late in the match when Zane Bundy found the net off an assist from Aaron Wright. Leyva added his second goal during stoppage time. Coupeville meets South Whidbey (1-0) at 6 p.m. Friday, March 28, at Mickey Clark Field.
Softball: Wolves begin with win
It was worth the wait. After rain wiped out the first two softball games, the Wolves finally got to play, defeating rival South Whidbey 6-3 in Coupeville. Coupeville mixed walks to Madeline Roberts, MaKayla Bailey and Haley Sherman with a single by Bree Messner and three passed balls to score three runs in the opening inning. In the fourth, Emily Licence and Roberts walked then scored on a single by Messner and a ground out from Sherman. Hailey Hammer singled in the third run. While the offense was piling up six runs, Bailey struck out eight to stymie the Falcon attack. She walked only one in contrast to the 11 walks yielded by South Whidbey.
Messner and Hammer finished with two hits each. Coupeville (1-0) hosts Cedarcrest (1-1) at 4 p.m. Thursday, March 27.
Tennis: Coupeville splits first 4 matches
Coupeville began the season with two close home wins, nipping Port Townsend/Chimacum 4-3 Monday, March 17, and Friday Harbor 3-2 Tuesday, March 18. Two road losses followed, 4-1 to Blaine Friday, March 21, and 5-0 to South Whidbey Monday, March 24. Coupeville winners versus Port Townsend/Chimacum: Singles: 1, Allie Hanigan, 6-3, 6-1; 2, Jacki Ginnings, 6-1, 7-6(9-7). Doubles: 3, Ana Luvera/Valen Trujillo, 6-2, 6-1; 4, Maureen Rice/Haleigh Deasy, 6-0, 6-1. Hanigan used a finesse game to take first singles, according to coach Ken Stange. Ginnings made her varsity singles debut and was “mentally tough” and won with hustle and scrappy tennis, according to Stange. Winners versus Friday Harbor: Singles: 1, Hanigan, 6-3, 7-6(7-4); 2, Ginnings, 6-7(3-7), 6-2, 6-3. Doubles: 2, McKenzie Bailey/Wynter Thorne, 6-3,
6-2. Stange liked how Bailey and Thorne rebounded from a tough loss the day before in the season-opening match with Port Townsend. They were “very dominant” and “Wynter played under control and McKenzie unleashed her aggression,” Stange said. “All in all, it was a fun match,” Stange said. “Our girls continue to improve and we pulled out another win.” Against Blaine, the Wolves picked up their lone point in second doubles when Bailey and Ivy Luvera, up 2-0, were awarded the win when Caitlyn and Caylie Sharp retired because of a hand injury. The South Whidbey match was “a difficult day for the Wolf netters,” Stange said, noting his team didn’t provide much resistance for the Falcons. Coupeville (2-2) is off until Tuesday, April 15, when Archbishop Murphy (1-0) comes to town.
Track: Streubel, Stone pick up wins
The Coupeville High School track team warmed up for the regular season by competing in the Whidbey Island Jamboree at Oak Harbor’s Wildcat Memorial Stadium Thursday, March 20, and at the Seattle Academy

Lathom Kelley was third in the 200 (23.85) and fifth in the 100 (11.8), Mitchell Carroll placed fourth in the triple jump (16-05) and Matt Shank was fifth in the javelin (120-10). At the relays, the Coupeville boys placed third out of eight teams with 53 points and the girls finished fifth out of nine teams with 44 points. Streubel nabbed a win for the boys, taking the shot put (45-09.5); he also was third in the discus (124-07). Stone earned a first for the girls, winning the 400 meters (1:01.46); she added a fourth in the 100 (13.8). Three of the other top-five finishes by the Coupeville boys came in the relays: Brandon Kelley, Shank, Lathom Kelley and Jared Helmstadter finished third in the 4x100 (47.61) and fourth in the 4x200 (1:38.09); and Helmstadter, Grey Rische, Matt Hampton and Jake McCormick placed fifth in the 4x400 (4:05.35). Hampton also took fourth in the 800 (2:20.14), Dalton Martin was fourth in the discus (121-07), and Shank placed fifth in the javelin (117-03). Sylvia Hurlburt, Lauren Burrow, Nene Maxie and Marisa Etzell took second in the girls 4x100 (55.56); Etzell, Burrow, Hurlburt and Stone ran third in the 4x200 (1:53.08); and Etzell, Carlie Rosenkrance, Mattea Miller and Stone placed third in the 4x400 (4:39.73). Other top-five finishes came from Burrow (fourth, long jump, 13-07.5) and Skyler Lawrence (fifth, javelin, 82). Coupeville begins the regular season at Sultan along with Archbishop Murphy and Lakewood at 4 p.m. Thursday, March 27.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves
NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension. To m a k e a f i r e w o o d complaint, call 360-9021857. agr.wa.gov/inspection/ WeightsMeasures/Fire woodinformation.aspx agr.wa.gov/inspection/WeightsMeasures/Firewoodinformation.aspx

PLANS: Development welcomed on Front Street From page 1 Front Street,” Kwarsick said. “This will include needed repairs and upgrades to the structure and mechanical systems. “The intent is to enhance the appearance of Front Street and add to the vitality of Coupeville’s retail economy.” Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard said the project is a welcomed addition to the town. Having additional retail space adds more energy to downtown, she said, and the more people, the more success. With the idea of new business coming to Front Street, Conard said she always likes businesses that attract locals as much as tourists. There are some challenges to doing construction on Front Street, Conard said. If the project requires a staging area, the town may have to close some parking spots temporarily to accommodate. “We’ve done it before and we can do it again,” she said.

Above: Plans for the building at 10 Front Street, the center blue building, include exterior changes to bring it back more to its historic appearance. Below: Artistic renderings show proposed changes to the waterfront side of the building. In late 2012, Seattle businessman-turned-propertyinvestor Kroon purchased the John Robertson Building from Fairway America, LLC., a hard-money group based out of Portland, Ore. The John Robertson Building has a long history, which began in 1866 as Robertson’s waterfront store. At one time, a dock similar in size to the Coupeville Wharf was nestled between it and what is now Toby’s Tavern. In 1948, it was converted to a restaurant and has housed a handful over the past 60 years. While many today still call it the Mad Crab; others may think of it as Captain Jacks or the Captain’s Galley.
