Reply to comment by pala4833 in Clinton ferry terminal, looking towards Everett and Mukilteo. Circa July 1978 by Nixx_Mazda

Whenever I say "the islands" in conversation, I'm always referring to the San Juan Islands and Whidbey Island. I know it doesn't make sense because they're in different counties.

That’s the most common usage I hear as well. Maybe “the islands” were referring to Whidbey and Hat island 🤷‍♂️.

Speaking of hat Island, I would love a small piece of property there. It only has about 50 full-time residence and you can’t even get to the island unless you yourself are a resident or be guest of a resident. There is a private ferry that only runs on weekends, otherwise you need a private boat.

Sounds amazing. I've never been to hat island. I've seen it many times from Everett and the Mukilteo Clinton ferry. I'd love to live on Whidbey.

I lived in Whidbey for a year. Very strong sense of community there. Also hard to escape the incestuous gossip in a community that close. Like with everything it has it’s pros and cons.
