WHIDBEY ISLAND AND THE TOWN OF LANGLEY

Whidbey is special among the islands of Puget Sound. Close to Seattle but set apart just enough, it blends the best of urban life with an earthy, rural culture.

Langley is the oldest town on South Whidbey, with a long history as home to seafaring, farming, fishing, logging and communal families. More recently Langley has become a center for the arts, with galleries filled with local works, a place for festivals, a performance center, a children's theater. Spanning the gap between the old days and the new is The Clyde Theater, a perennially popular community hub.

Restaurants and shops abound in Langley, from home style cooking and antiques, to Northwest fusion and cutting edge fashion and there are also lots of stylish places to stay. South Whidbey schools and many community organizations are located here, so there's always something exciting going on.

The Highlands is helping to shape the future of life in Langley, bringing community minded residents closer to one another and to their town.

Sustainable living has become a priority for many Northwesterners. The Highlands, as a Low Impact Development, is integrated into the island dialogue about sustainability and hosts community building events.
