It’s been a bang up week for newness in Coupeville. 

The second new shop to open in Coupeville is a huge winner for our historic Waterfront.

Marbley opened on Saturday, August 10th, and is located at 7 Front Street in the circa 1936 Howell’s building.

Owners Joan and Ed, visited Coupeville in 2017 and fell in love with #7 Front Street. With the intention to redirect their energy, after 20 years in the restaurant and hospitality industries, and raise their son in a smaller community Ed and Joan have embraced Coupeville in excited and generous ways.

Since 2017 they sold their restaurant in So. California, bought a house within walking distance of #7, and renovated the old Howell building for their shop Marbley!

Marbley blends beautifully curated personal and gift items with silk scarfs made through the ancient art form of Ebru* (read description of this art form below). BONUS at Marbley, YOU can make your own scarf!

*Ebru is a method of aqueous surface design, which can produce patterns similar to smooth marble, other kinds of stone or patterns of your choosing. The patterns are the result of non-toxic colored paints floated on plain water and then carefully transferred to a silk scarf. Through several centuries, people have applied marbled materials to a variety of surfaces. It is often employed as a writing surface for calligraphy, and especially book covers and endpapers in bookbinding and stationery. Part of its appeal is that each print is a unique monotype. THIS is truly something special for Coupeville.

Historic Waterfront Upgrades Wifi in downtown

10 Thursday Aug 2017

Coupeville, Coupeville Front St., Coupeville Historic Waterfront Association, Coupeville Washington, Wifi Coupeville

With the commitment of our members, and volunteers, we are able to provide free Wifi to our historic downtown.  Having Wifi helps both resident and visitor alike. 

Recently we made a decision to give our Wifi a stronger presence and added to the number of repeaters we have on Front St.

THANKS TO our volunteers, Randy Chambers, Jason Magee, and Denis Hill for installation of the additional repeater, and Front Street Grill for their generosity in allowing us to mount it on their building.  

A WiFi repeater or extender is used to extend the coverage area of your WiFi network. It works by receiving your existing WiFi signal, amplifying it and then transmitting the boosted signal.

 

As a Historic Waterfront member and volunteer Denis Hill guided us through our project to get Wifi to our downtown. Now that we’ve had it for several year he now monitors the system and guides us in our necessary upgrades! Thanks Denis.

First Ringing of The Orca Network’s Coupeville Whale Bell

Saturday June 3rd at 3:30pm

on the Coupeville Wharf

After much effort, energy, fundraising, and volunteer hours the Orca Network’s Coupeville Whale Bell will be UNVEILED and rung for the first time this Saturday, June 3, 2017 at 3:30pm

The antique (refurbished) bell, generously donated by Coupeville’s Matt Iverson, will be attached to a carved whale by Coupeville artist Jim Short. The carving was created in Alaskan yellow cedar.  Regional Native American Tribal art and the late Roger Purdue inspired the bell’s carving, and the Whale Wheel at the lands end of the Coupeville Wharf. 

Many thanks to the Coupeville Chamber of Commerce and the Port of Coupeville for their partnership and support!
