Construction at the Coupeville Wharf

There’s lots of construction going on at the Coupeville Wharf.

Sound Water Steward Dick Johnson removes a wall he installed more than 10 years ago as an Island County Beach Watcher to make way for an updated marine display at the Coupeville wharf.

Coupeville Lions Paul Bigelow (also a Sound Water Steward of Island County), Rick Walti, Joe Hillers and John Roomes prepare the new display wall at the Coupeville Wharf. The wall will host a new, dynamic display about Penn Cove and the marine life that lives here.

The entire display is sponsored by Sound Water Stewards and supported by donations from the Lighthouse Environmental Programs, Town of Coupeville, Coupeville Festival Association, Coupeville Lions, KIRO 7 honoring Jan Holmes, and many individual donations honoring other Island County Beach Watchers.
