Whidbey News Times article for Times subscribers

We couldn’t be happier for the recipients, and what these Ebey’s Reserve Preservation Grants mean to the furthering preservation of some of our state’s oldest buildings.  These buildings are still standing today because they were preserved in the past and thankfully continue to be preserved today.

This, our celebratory blog piece about the grant and distribution, includes images and links to the history of many of the buildings and a hearty thanks to all those who worked hard to have the preservation grants brought to the Reserve and our historic town. We include old images of the buildings as a testament to the years they’ve stood and the importance of historic preservation.
