Every year the Historic Waterfront Association organizes our Island County Community Care Team to gather everyday items for distribution to local seniors, disabled adults and children throughout the year. All items go directly to Island County Human Services so our county case managers and social workers can distribute to those in critical need.

From November through Dec. 19th bring your donated items to the CHWA office located at 6 Coveland. The office entry is located down the steps (to the right) of Balance Body Works.

IF the office is closed put your donations in the box outside the office door. If you’re donating something other than supplies (cash or gift cards) please email or call our Executive Director Vickie Chambers to arrange for a drop off or pick up. 360-222-3696

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.

Take your pictures and share them on our facebook page. Keep clicking and sharing. Photos will be tallied up on New Year’s day.

CAN YOU WIN? Only the Snow Peeps know for sure. What is the prize? It’s a New Years surprise. YOU’LL love it!

WALK or park on side streets and walk up to the Snow People. BE SAFE and HAVE FUN! DO NOT park on side of main roads where there is no parking allowed.

We’ve had some folks ask why there are a couple businesses with Snow Peeps. Snow Peeps have been sold to businesses since 2015. Non-Profit Snow Peeps are granted at no cost.

HOW TO GET A SNOW PEEP: Businesses or residents pay 60.00 for a snow person. YOU store it at your business or house and put it (safely) up each year. Touch ups can be done every couple of years if need be. Store your snow person in a safe and dry place.

Businesses who’ve purchased Snow People are Peak Performance Chiropractic Center, Coupe’s Last Stand Hot Dog Stand, and Lavender Wind Farm and Store.

Central Whidbey Non-Profits get their Snow People for nothing. Those non-profits who can afford it give a stipend donation to cover costs of materials.

The Snow People are painted in a undisclosed location by volunteer elves. The “paint shop” also paints seasonal Photo Ops the Haunting of Coupeville signs and Scarecrows. WE THANK THE ELVES!

To purchase a Snow Peep or suggest a Snow Peep for a CENTRAL WHIDBEY Non-profit email coupevillehistoricwaterfrontassociation@hotmail.com USE the email title Snow Peep Request.

Snow Peeps are made of plywood and painted with weather resistant paint. Cost of purchase only covers cost of wood and paint, and a stipend for the non-profit Snow Peep costs. Volunteer Elf painting hours not charged for.
