r/Whidbey

I’m from B’ham and LOVE visiting OH and the Book Rack. I could’ve sworn last time I was there (early Aug) that I saw that there were late night over 21 gatherings at The Book Rack but can’t find anything on line to corroborate this.
Anyone? I’d love to get a room at Coach Man Inn and attend if it’s a real thing and not a hallucination I had.

If you called OHPD last night for a "welfare check" on someone at the decommissioned bus stop by haggen along hwy 20, I'd like to sincerely say I hope you break your pinky toe and/or foot on a metal table leg and it never heals.

Where do you expect the homeless to go? I'm kicked out of the haven until next June for asking a question, so where would you like me to go? Oak harbor is my home, I'll be fucked if I leave because some sissy lala's can't handle seeing someone down on their luck. I don't do drugs (aside from weed, been sober off the hard shit (meth, coke) for 4 years, come October) I don't make a mess. I don't make a huge scene screaming at the top of my lungs. I go to the bus stop, I take my dab (YES, in public, cause where tf else should I go?) and I go to sleep. That's it. I'm ok, I'm breathing, maybe next time take a second and see if you can see breaths being taken before wasting resources that could be better used, idk, going after the several meth labs we have in city limits? Or tweakers making huge messes being nuisances? Or catching speeders that constantly race along that stretch of hwy 20. Something a little more useful than telling somebody with nowhere to go that they can't sleep under a defunct, out-of-service bus shelter.

Cops are fucking useless, and especially if you work for OHPD, you obviously have nothing better to do. Maybe go to therapy to deal with your feelings from being bullied in high school like the fucking losers you are.

I should say, this is my first time in just over a month of being legitimately on the streets, that I've been met by the cops. I've slept at that bus stop several times before. Get fucked.

Has anybody redone their kitchen on Whidbey using IKEA products and an installer? Looking at a possible full kitchen remodel in a home we may purchase to live in full-time. Have remodeled several other kitchens, but never on an island. Trying to save money where we can and have heard good things about IKEA kitchens. This would be in the south part of the island.

megans law is a website that allows a search of sex offenders in LA county. theres also a national registry. People dont always register in state if they move to a new state. people might change the spelling of thier last name. sometimes they are not allowed to have soical media accounts. vet your band members and watch your kids at festivals and all ages venues

Looking at in central whibdey. I see the navy practices as OVF and I see the currrent schedule shows practicing about 7 of the next 10 days. Is that pretty normal that the operate that often?

If you get upset at somebody for calling out a pedophile in an area where there's kids, somebody should check your hard drive. Honestly. Why would you get upset at somebody making the community aware that there is a predator in the area, if you, yourself, are not one? Right?

I ask as part of a linguistic study covering this topic!
Examples could include things like Windy Island, D Pass, The Rock or Coupetown (incl. nicknames for parks, schools or other institutions, geographic features etc.)...

Anybody know about any fun things happening on the island today? Besides the usual walking around town touristy stuff?

At the time of this writing, there's less than 40% of tickets remaining! This is likely to sell out, so please get tickets early!
