South Whidbey Record

Since 1921, the South Whidbey Record has been dedicated to delivering top-notch community journalism to its readers. The publication focuses on the southern part of Whidbey Island, starting with Clinton, the gateway where Washington State ferries arrive after crossing Puget Sound from the mainland and Seattle. The Record’s audience includes various communities, such as the lively town of Clinton, known for its beaches and rural landscapes; the charming village of Langley, a hub for visual and performing arts that attracts visitors year-round; the small but thriving town of Freeland, which is currently seeing significant growth in business and services; and the quaint hamlet of Greenbank, located near Central Whidbey, home to the public Greenbank Farm and the renowned 54-acre Meerkerk Rhododendron Gardens. Committed to excellence in community journalism, the South Whidbey Record upholds a high level of reporting, analysis, opinions, and photography. Each edition showcases the diverse interests of its readers, covering topics such as land use, road improvements, education, crime, local government, community happenings, sports, boating, recreation, arts, entertainment, and the unique individuals and places that define South Whidbey.

Bob Ferguson recently signed into law Senate Bill 5716, which carries harsher penalties for those who assault transit workers. Previously, ferry workers were not included in the list.
