Message From New Port of Coupeville Commissioner
Hi! I’m Marianne Burr. I’ve lived here in Central Whidbey for 40 years and have been attending Port of Coupeville meetings regularly since there was a threat of a Greenbank Farm sale in 2015.
I was instrumental in forming the Crockett Lake Water District in 1985, and I’ve been one of the three Commissioners there in many of the years since.
I bring my love of the Wharf and the Farm, along with my elected office experience to help restore our historic icons while the Port moves forward with its Broadband service to make high speed internet available to Port subscribers. Our Port is growing in its mission to the public to be much more than it has ever been before. With the interest and support of the public, our Port will continue to be the face of the Central Whidbey economy. And our “face” will be wearing a smile!
The 2023 election was the time when no candidates for my Port District appeared during the regular filing period, so I decided it was my time to use what I’d learned about the Port and go to work serving the whole Port District. I am honored to have been chosen by the voters.
I’m here now and I would love to hear from you all. You can speak at a meeting or send me an email. Get all the info you will need to connect on the Port web site: portoc.org
