Karina Andrew reports for the Whidbey News-Times from the Coupeville Town Council meeting of Tue., Jan. 24, 2023.

Whidbey Island is one step closer to having its second state-certified creative district.

Last week, the Coupeville Town Council unanimously approved a resolution supporting the creation of the Coupeville Creative District, one of the final steps in an application process that has been ongoing for more than a year.

Video recording of the Coupeville Town Council meeting of Jan. 24, 2023. The presentation on the creative district, along with discussion by the council, begins at 11:42 and lasts for approximately 28 minutes. After about two minutes of audience input, the council took up the resolution.

They Said It

Councilmember Jackie Henderson said the mission of the district perfectly aligns with that of the tourism committee, on which she sits.

“This is just a remarkable thing you’re all doing,” she said. “I’m really excited about it.”
