Working phone booths dot South Whidbey Island, where residents still can make local calls β€” for free

There was a time β€” a time before smartphones and DMs and all that Slack β€” when telephones were about warmth and reassurance. It lives on still in South Whidbey.

Getting a #motorcycle / #scooter really has opened up some of my old cycling routes for me. I'm able to get shots that I normally wouldn't have gotten on the bicycle due to time constraints. #WhidbeyIsland #KitsapPeninsula #PortTownsend

Walking a beach is about the things you find washed up. Here's a clearly dead spotted ratfish (Hydrolagus colliei) that washed up at Fort Casey State Park. #nature #fish #marine #oceanography #PNW #Washington #WhidbeyIsland #FortCasey #marinelife
Walking the beach at Fort Casey State Park (1/10/26). Finding pretty beach rocks. Windy. A Washington State ferry (MV Kennewick) begins crossing Admiralty Inlet from Keystone to Port Townsend. #walking #hiking #beach #PNW #Washington #WhidbeyIsland #FortCasey #WSF #ferry #travel #photography
We were out on Whidbey Island on 1/10/26. One of our stops was Fort Casey State Park where we checked out Admiralty Head Lighthouse, which, unfortunately is closed in January and February. We did more walking around there including the beach. #lighthouse #photography #travel #PNW #Washington #WhidbeyIsland
We did a little hike in South Whidbey State Park back on 1/10/26. We're on a quest to hike as many parks and preserves as we can on Whidbey. South Whidbey SP was an easy target and turned out as a nice walk in the woods. We actually camped here in 1996 when our two boys were toddlers. The campground is closed now, though. #hiking #outdoors #nature #photography #WhidbeyIsland
This was a nice hike we did at Deception Pass about three weeks ago on New Year's Eve. We walked along North Beach then up to Goose Rock looping back. Beautiful sunny day. #hiking #outdoors #PNW #Washington #DeceptionPass #WhidbeyIsland #photography
