  • Welcome to the Current!
    Welcome to the Current! Well, here comes Fall! Summer is slowing down and the cooler air is coming in. Leaves are starting to change here and there....and the rain is back. Make sure you come and check out the Park during this cool, sometimes wet season - it is a great place to visit rain or shine! This month in the Current learn about the bridge painting project happening now, a recap of our summer programs and some more history of the Park! Across the bridge by Elle Tracy Photo by Cindy Elliser Beginning in August, 2019, the Washington State Department of Transportation began a two-year project to restore and repaint the Deception Pass bridge – the only link for Whidbey Island residents on an off the island, unless, of course, you have a jet at your disposal. The existing paint work was completed more than 20 years ago, and with salt, wind and wear, the corrosion repair and paint work is necessary to support the resident and tourist traffic, estimated to be about 20,000 vehicles daily. Then there’s the foot traffic…. The temporary metal poles you see rising from the exterior barriers, support containment tarps under the bridge that prevent repair debris from dropping into the water. Containment tarps, photo by Cindy Elliser The project will shut down in the late fall for the winter, to begin again in the spring of 2020. Completion of the work is scheduled for fall of 2020. During work periods, you’ll hear unusual noise during the day, and quieter work noise overnight, when the bridge span is reduced to one lane of traffic.

  • Natural Hazards on Whidbey Island
    Natural Hazards on Whidbey Island Protect and prepare your family and your home — a guide for surviving disasters caused by earthquakes, landslides, wildland fires, tsunamis, and windstorms Island County, Washington Department of Emergency Management Digital elevation map of Island County (Jessica Larson) ii Dealing with Natural Hazards on Whidbey Island This is a guide to the natural hazards that could affect you, your family, and your property. It offers a brief description of the ways you can prepare your home and family to survive disasters caused by earthquakes, landslides, wildland fires, tsunamis, and windstorms. Power outages caused by windstorms during the winter of 2006-2007 — as well as numerous other events in prior and more recent years — have made most residents of Whidbey Island amply aware of the difficulties of being without light, heat, water, and the ability to prepare meals or use health-related equipment. Although most of us have experienced being without power for less than a week, we have still been able to travel to a grocery, a hospital, or the mainland. Friends across the island could help each other. But what if there were a major natural disaster that cut off the island from the mainland and we were entirely on our own for two or three weeks? A truly large storm or an earthquake could destroy or damage docks at the Clinton and Coupeville ferries systems and seriously compromise footings of the Deception Pass bridge, disrupting delivery of food, water, fuel, emergency services, and many other vitally necessary elements of our Island life. These realities are even more evident recently as we have had record rains, experienced more landslides, and observed the damage suffered by the islands of New Zealand and Japan.

LOW HORIZONTAL SIGNS This page and the two pages next following demon­ strate structural simplicity in sign devices—single log in horizontal or vertical position. The recum­ bent log is satisfyingly unobtrusive but unless vigilantly tended can be quickly lost to view where vegetation grows rapidly. The "To the Lodge" sign lacks painfully a ground cover to obliterate its miserable rock garden foreground. Bark left on structural logs is never to be countenanced—well, hardly ever. The very character of the Lincoln Log Cabin State Park sign would vanish along with the bark. The alternative—probable replacement of this sign every few years—seems here justified.
