Sound Off: Ebey’s Reserve remains in trusted hands
Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve was established by the U.S. Congress in 1978 to “preserve and protect a rural community which provides an unbroken historical record from nineteenth century exploration and settlement in Puget Sound to the present time.” This Reserve was the first of its kind, a partnership between the federal government, the State of Washington, the Town of Coupeville and Island County. In 1988, the four partners entered into an interlocal agreement to establish a Trust Board. With representation from all four governments, the Trust Board would be made up of local citizens who were given responsibility for the management of the Reserve.
