We've talked a lot about our town, Langley, where we're building our new home but we've never taken you on a stroll. We've lived on Whidbey Island for 24 years now and all of those years we've had a Langley address, but 16 of those years we were 3 miles outside Langley's city limits. When we decided to sell our Saratoga home and move within walking distance of the services we needed, it was back to Langley for us.
With a theatre, bookstore, clinic, grocery store, drug store, library, and many other delightful places of business, Langley was our choice. We're also on a great bus system, Island Transit, with free bus service six days a week. Langley, with its shops, services and transportation, serves nicely the sustainable life style we are striving for. With 1000 residents, Langley is small and charming with a wonderfully close knit community.
But we're not perfect so don't just jump on the ferry and come on over. We have lots of rain, wind, power outages and expensive ferries to deal with. But those of us who have made the commitment love our choice and mostly, without too much complaining, put up with yet another ferry breakdown or power outage or challenging weather day.
