Bayview is an unincorporated community centered at the intersection of State Route 525 and Bayview Road on Whidbey Island in Island County, Washington, United States.
It is approximately 5 miles (8km) west of the town 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. This house was originally built in Greenbank, and for approximately 90 years it occupied a prominent corner at Hwy 525 & Wonn Road on the Greenbank Farm, before being displaced by a highway re-alignment project. It was later renovated and moved to Bayview. There is also a High School across the street from Casey's, providing fuel to the students that go there.
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.
