Coupeville…

April, 2016

… is a harbor town in Washington State, mostly dealing in tourism nowadays. Its weathered buildings testify to its history. Coupeville is located near the center of Whidbey Island, which lies in Puget Sound between the mainland and the Olympic Peninsula. On the north side of downtown is Penn Cove, an inlet of the Saratoga Passage.

I spent an afternoon here, not enough time to develop an understanding of the port’s history or culture, but long enough to become visually enchanted by this place out of time.
