Port Welcomes New Commissioner
The Port Commissioners are pleased to announce the addition of Martin Vandepas (pronounced VAN-da-pass), to represent Port District #3. He has been a Greenbank resident since 2019. Martin is committed to local agriculture and environmental stewardship. He runs a regenerative farm called Slow and Steady Farm in Greenbank, and he’s also board treasurer of the Whidbey Island Grown Cooperative.
Martin has also played a crucial role in agricultural and food projects across the nation through his paid grant review work for the US Dept of Agriculture. With an engineering background from Intel Corporation and a M.S. from Oregon State University, Martin brings analytical skills and a fresh perspective to the Port.
He is committed to promoting local food systems and improving public waterfront access. Martin values transparency and public engagement in the decisions made by the Port Commission.
