Freeland is South Whidbey’s commercial center and the fastest growing community on the south end of the island. A golf course and upscale homes hug the Holmes Harbor shoreline that is anchored by Nichols Brothers boat builders, the area’s largest employer. On the west side, beach walkers, clam diggers and bird watchers glory in the coastline that runs from Double Bluff north.

Our local grocery is as much social center as food provisioner/provider. You’ll have a chance to chat with friends in the produce section or check-out line. An old-fashioned department store and roadway diner will transport you back to childhood. Freeland’s spectacular 4th of July fireworks at waterfront park will take you there too.

Residents are currently contemplating city incorporation. Discussions about sewer districts ignite our passions. We hope to create a more walkable, people-friendly town by establishing pathways, planters and benches. Community groups are insisting upon control over design standards for new buildings. Now is the time to become part of our expanding community.
