Scott Price’s Whidbey Island
In this episode, we get a local’s perspective on the natural beauty and tight-knit community that make Whidbey Island so special. Scott Price shares why he and his wife chose Whidbey as their forever home after exploring much of the Pacific Northwest—and what’s kept them rooted ever since.
Scott talks about the island’s unique charm, from stunning sunset views over the Olympics to the sense of intention that comes with living on an island. He also reveals his personal escape: a quiet, unmarked stretch of beach where solitude and scenic beauty meet.
And in a lighthearted moment, he picks a playful theme song for the island: It’s a Small World. It’s a nod to Whidbey’s close community where, as Scott says, “Everybody knows everything about everybody else”—especially according to his daughter!
Scott Price and his family are the curators of the Price Sculpture Forest on Whidbey. Learn more about the sculpture forest here.
