Bayview, Washington

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bayview or Whidbey City is a community centered at the intersection of Washington State Route 525 and Bayview Road. It is located on Whidbey Island in Washington state.

It is approximately 5 miles (8km) west of the village of Clinton, and 4 miles (6km) south of the city of Langley.

Bayview has a grocery store (Casey's Red Apple), a hardware store (Sebo's Do-it Center), and a craft store. One gas station, an Exxon, sits by the highway. Bayview is also the home of the South Whidbey Seniors' Center, Island County Fire District 3, and Whidbey Telecom. Bayview Corner is a collection of older buildings renovated in the early part of the 21st Century to house an art gallery, nursery, cafes and specialty shops. A farmer's market operates here during the summer months. Across Bayview Road from this area is a renovated Sears-kit house, originally built in Greenbank.

Just south of the commercial area on Bayview Road is one of Whidbey Island's off-leash dog parks, Marguerite Brons Memorial Off-Leash Park.

The people who live in the area refer to it as Bayview. However, they officially live in one of three towns: Freeland, Clinton, or Langley.

Bayview is not to be confused with Bay View, located on the mainland in Skagit County.
