Over
a century and a half ago, two peoples met on Whidbey Island
and discovered each other. Master Joseph Whidbey, first mate
of Captain George Vancouver, English explorer and navigator
who anchored in the Straits of Juan de Fuca sent his survey
crews out in small boats. Native American tribes who lived
on Whidbey Island welcomed the white men, traded with them,
lived among them, and sadly, eventually disappeared from Whidbey.
Both
groups left behind a rich history, fascinating to those fortunate
enough to live on the island and indeed to anyone interested
in local history.
