Island County, Administrative division in Washington State, United States.
Island County spans across multiple islands, including Whidbey and Camano, covering 517 square miles with 60 percent consisting of water bodies.
The Oregon Territory legislature established Island County on December 22, 1852, making it Washington's eighth-oldest county, originally encompassing present-day Snohomish and Skagit counties.
The county maintains strong community involvement through public meetings, advisory boards, and citizen committees that shape local policies and development plans.
Residents access county services through Washington State Routes 20 and 525 on Whidbey Island, and Route 532 on Camano Island, with Island Transit providing fare-free bus transportation.
The county seat of Coupeville exists within Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve, while the largest city, Oak Harbor, hosts a substantial military presence.
