Coupeville is a small town on Whidbey Island. It has rolling fields, mountain views and a waterfront old town feel. There are less than 2,000 residents and only one stop light (if you don't count the blinking 4-way stop). It was founded in the late 1870's-1880's and didn't officially become a town until 1910. The movie Practical Magic was was filmed here, many of the people around town share stories about the actors when they were here.

Many of the Victorian houses have been turned into businesses


Because the buildings are historical they can only use certain colors on it.
