The unique appeal of
Camano Island is that it offers visitors a real-life
island experience -- without the hype. Don't expect
trendy tourist traps. There are a few restaurants, a
handful of country-style grocery stores, bed and
breakfast facilities, and intriguing fine art galleries
to serve the elite few who have discovered Camano
Island.
It is not surprising that
Camano's population swells by several thousand in the
summer when one considers the protected location offered
by Saratoga Passage to the west, Skagit Bay to the
north, and Port Susan to the east. There are about
13,347 permanent residents living on Camano Island with
the Island County seat located in Coupeville on Whidbey
Island. Schools are located in the nearby town of
Stanwood in Snohomish County, and two elementary schools
