It's gorgeous out here, but house prices have shot up in the last several years, plus houses are scarce in general due to the Navy bases having more people stationed there than they have housing available, so the military families have taken nearabout all the civilian housing in the area -- at least on north Whidbey. Who knows though, you could get lucky. It's worth a shot!

Yeah my wife and I go every few years. It's way more accessible than the San Juans too. Hoping for acreage and or proximity to the sound because we've farmed the hell out of our half acre in Black Diamond and nothing beats the seafood win rate of crabbing. All these lowland lakes are empty of anything bigger than perch.

We're stuck for another few months because of our newborn though. We keep seeing really good properties show up and disappear quick.
