Glendale Shoreline Access and Restoration

Category Overview

Project Highlights

Island County acquired a conservation and access easement on 6 acres, owned by the Whidbey Camano Land Trust, located on the southeast side of Whidbey Island in the small community of Glendale. The County removed two buildings where a small parking area will be established in Summer 2017. The acquisition resulted in permanent public access to over 420 feet of the restored shoreline that allows fishing, non-motorized boating access, swimming, nature viewing, picnicking, and beachcombing. Most recently, the State DNR restored coastal processes by removing a derelict creosote pier and a broken creosote bulkhead.
