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!

May is National Preservation Month

Coupeville Historic Waterfront Association is joining the National Trust and Main Street towns all over the country to celebrate with three words that say it all: This. Place. Matters.

Everyone has places that are important to them. On Whidbey Island and in Coupeville we are especially proud of our history, and our preservation of our historic properties and places. We care about them all!

cropped-img_25241

This Place Matters is national campaign that encourages us to celebrate the places that are meaningful to us and our communities.

Help us share our special places with the National Trust and the country by sharing your “This Place Matters” photos to our Facebook page.

But, this campaign isn’t just about photography. It’s also about telling the stories or describing a feeing about the places in Coupeville (and on Whidbey) that matter to you. Please include a sentence, a paragraph, a story or even a poem with your photos.

Visit our Coupeville History page to find out about the historic building photos (only ones located in our historic district) you share on our Facebook page

YOU can also visit the Island County Archives and Museum for books about our history.

Through This Place Matters, we hope to encourage and inspire the ongoing love and continued preservation of Coupeville through pictures and comments.

YES, share from all over Whidbey! We’ll be sharing with the National Historic Trust and are happy to include every square mile of our beautiful isle.

Preservation Month is an excellent opportunity to shine a spotlight on all the special places that are important to you.

This Place Matters

BUT

We’re throwing in something more to this exciting month. Because Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve IS historic and has been “preserved” photos and words about locations on the reserve are welcome too!

This Place Matters

We look forward to a touching, fun and historic May with you on our Facebook page

Coupeville Historic Waterfront Assoc.

~ Strengthen, promote, and maintain our successful historic downtown district.
