Washington’s Whidbey Island is full of famous spots, like Coupeville (of Practical Magic fame) and Fort Casey. But this breathtaking island is also full of hidden gems, some of which even locals aren’t aware of.
Earth Sanctuary offers something for the nature lover, art aficionado, and anyone looking for a peaceful place to rest and recharge. Come explore this little piece of paradise, and pay attention to how amazing you feel when you leave.
The property is easily accessible from the main highway, Route 525, but you'll feel like you're in your own world as soon as you arrive.
Pettis created a 500-year (yes, 500) plan to restore the 72-acres of Earth Sanctuary to a mature old-growth forest with plenty of natural wildlife.

Wander through green forest, past reflective ponds, enjoying the peace and quiet. If you're moved by what you see, you can support the 500-year sustainability plan by planting a Memorial Tree to honor a loved one.
