| I have found Oak Harbor to be a nice place to live in general, but still feel it is too secluded for me personally. There is not a lot to do as far as night life or shopping, but there are a lot of outdoor activities that you can partake in. The mountains are just amazing. The beaches here are beautiful when it is a sunny day out. You can sometimes sea the sea-life on the beaches such as sea lions and whales.
If you want to live here you must like the rain.
There are a lot of military people there. If you are a person in the military PCSing to Whidbey and do not like living in military towns, try Anacortes, WA. It is also beautiful there, and only about a 30 min drive or less to work.
Housing is expensive, it usually costs more than what you get in BAH (military housing allowance).
The people are very friendly and it is only a short ferry ride to Seattle.
