Island County Death Certificates, 1907-1952 Surnames C – D Island County Death Certificates, 1907-1952 Surnames C – D Information extracted from microfilms of Island County Death Certificates by Ralph Seefeld, Archivist, Genealogical Society of South Whidbey Island.

  • Surf Smelt Fact Sheet
    WASHINGTON STATE SURF SMELT FACT SHEET NAME: Surf smelt, Hypomesus pretiosus (Girard 1855). GEOGRAPHIC RANGE: Long Beach, California to Chignik Lagoon, Alaska. The Asian subspecies, Hypomesus pretiosus japonicas, occurs in the northwest Pacific Ocean. RELATED SPECIES: Several members of the smelt family, Osmeridae, occur in Washington waters, including eulachon (Columbia River smelt, hooligan) Thaleichthys pacificus, longfin smelt Spirinchus thaleichthys, whitebait smelt Allosmerus elongatus, and night smelt Spirinchus starksi. Unlike the other species, both eulachon and longfin smelt are anadromous, migrating into streams in the winter to spawn. Note: Columbia River smelt (eulachon) are listed as Threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and recreational fishing for this species in Washington waters is limited to years in which the run size is exceptionally large. Be sure to check the recreational fishing regulations (http://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/regulations/) before attempting to fish for any smelt species. RECOGNITION: Characteristic dark stripe down the middle of the side of the body. Also notable for small mouth with maxillary (upper jaw bone) that does not extend past the midpoint of the pupil of the eye; dorsal fin begins in front of the pelvic fin; pelvic fins short; and small, curved adipose fin. Length up to eight inches. LOCAL DISTRIBUTION: Surf smelt occur abundantly throughout the nearshore marine waters of Washington, from the Columbia River to the Canadian border and into southernmost Puget Sound and Hood Canal. Genetic research suggests that, despite this broad distribution, surf smelt throughout Puget Sound represent a single stock. SPAWN TIMING: Surf smelt populations can generally be divided into summer spawners and fall/winter spawners, though year- round spawning has been documented in the Whidbey Basin, Port Susan, portions of the San Juan Islands, and central Puget Sound (Eagle Harbor and Sinclair Inlet).

  • The Rivas Family Mexico Café, Skagit County's First & Original by Dan Royal
    The Rivas Family Mexico Café, Skagit County’s First & Original By Dan Royal Skagit County’s first Mexican restaurant, the Mexico Café, was created mixed ingredients of events that took place in the early 1960’s The old home base in Denver Colorado was no longer an option for Mama Rivas. The previous few years had been the beginning of the oldest children leaving home. Daughter Helen had married. Frank, then Robert joined the Marines Corp. The youngest and final child of 12, a boy named Adolph was born to Jesse & Celia Riva at this time. A daughter by the name of Hope had died in infancy. A visit from Aunt Mary during that time encouraged the family to start doing more migrant work in the Toppenish, Washington area. Sons Phillip, Thomas, Ernie, Jesse Jr., and Steve were old enough to help in the fields, even young Mary and Debbie did their share. Plus Aunt Mary had her own Mexican restaurant called Adolph’s El Charrito which was doing well and she used Celia’s help in the kitchen. Thomas was very allergic to the chemicals in the fields so he worked in the restaurant as well. The family had actually done migrant work in the Yakima valley since the late 1930’s and 40’s but never in Skagit County until 1962. First came the asparagus and apples in Toppenish during springtime, then to Skagit during the summer. Strawberries, peas and cucumbers between Bill Fisher’s Sandy Ridge Farms in Bow where Phillip had been the first family member to work berries in the valley and Roger Knutzen’s farm on Avon-Allen Rd.

  • Camano Island State Park
    CAMANO ISLAND STATE PARK A Cascadia Marine Trail Site History Honoring over 5,000 Years of Marine Travel Camano Island State Park is located on the southwest shore of Camano Island at Lowell Point, looking towards Saratoga Passage and Whidbey Island to the west. Its creation is a remarkable story of volunteers and community spirit. The first Cascadia Marine Trail site was established here in 1993. The first inhabitants of course were Indians. The site was part of the traditional lands of the Kikialos tribe, part of the Swinomish tribal group. The traditional boundary between the territory of the Kikialos and that of the Snohomish crossed the island at Lowell Point, with the northern part Kikialos land and the southern part Snohomish. The Indians called their summer camp there “XwE’S?D”. They called Lowell Point “Tux qwa’sus”, meaning “scorched face” or “scorched cliff”, because the promontory terminates in a bluff with dark rocks, suggesting scorching. The first Europeans were Captain Vancouver and crew who scouted the area in 1792. Due to fog, Vancouver did not see that Camano is an island. That was reported by Lt. Charles Wilkes, surveying for the United States in 1841. Wilkes named Lowell Point after a crewmember, James Lowell, and named the passage between Camano and Whidbey Islands Saratoga, after an American ship victorious in the War of 1812. The War of 1812 loomed large in public consciousness of the time. The bay protected by Lowell Point was originally named Algiers Bay, after another War of 1812 victory, the Battle of Algiers, but sometime after 1910 the spelling and pronunciation morphed into Elger Bay.

  • Changes in Vaccine Initiation in Island County
    Changes in Vaccine Initiation in Island County This brief presents difference in the patterns of vaccine course initiation across age, location and race and ethnicity in Island County. These data are provided by the Washington State WAIIS system and do not include the vaccination efforts undertaken by Naval Air Station Whidbey Island (NASWI). Key Points Youth aged 12- 17 make up an increasing share of those receiving vaccination and are surpassing young adults in the 18-34 bracket in vaccination coverage. The south end of Whidbey Island still has the highest proportion of residents who have initiated vaccination, but Oak Harbor has accounted for many of the new vaccine seekers recently and is gaining ground on the rest of the county. Data show that Black and Hispanic Island county residents have not been vaccinated at the same rate as other racial and ethnic groups. Existing gaps in vaccine coverage between White residents and other racial groups remain. Over the course of the vaccine rollout the federal government distributed a substantial number of vaccine doses to the military, federal correctional institutions, pharmacy partners, and other organizations. Those doses are not accounted for in this data which may have an impact on estimates of vaccine initiation proportion across gender, racial, ethnic, age, and geographic categories. Small numbers in particular gender, racial, ethnic, age, and geographic groups can make estimates less reliable, and threaten privacy. The way the data is displayed and the interpretation is adjusted as a result. DOH continues variant surveillance; thus far Alpha, Gamma, and Epsilon positive cases identified in Island County.

  • HAT ISLAND HISTORY by Robert a Brunjes
    HAT ISLAND HISTORY By Robert A Brunjes I hope you enjoy this updated history of our Island. We owe a debt of thanks to so many people who have helped make our Island paradise what it is today. I would like to dedicate this history to one of them, a wonderful man, world renowned Photographer and friend to may of us on Hat Island. BOB BENSON - You are gone, but the “Studio B” will always be in port. At Latitude 48 Degrees, 1 minute North, Longitude 122 Degrees, 19 minutes, is an Island formed by a retreating glacier some 13,500 years ago. The melt water pouring from its jagged edges gave up glacial materials forming deposits of clay, silt and gravel layer upon layer, until a land mass was formed. A smaller area of land was connected by a land bridge to a larger area now known as Camano Island. As the glacier melted, fresh water remained around this land. Finally the ice mass in its steady decline moved beyond the Olympic Mountain Range, and Sea water rushed into the area, filling what is now Puget Sound. The water level rose and the land bridge vanished under water forming a small island. Over the next 13,000 years, rain, wind, tide, and storms continued to gnaw at this island reducing it some 30 percent to its current size of 1 and a ½ miles long by 1/3 of a mile wide and approximately 440 acres. With a mild climate and an average of 30 inches of rain per year (10 Inches less than the mainland only 3 nautical miles away) various forms of vegetation took hold, including Cedar, Alder, Douglas Fir, and Maple.
