MyWhidbey launches as a free local listings hub for Whidbey Island

From community concerts to boats for sale, find everything Whidbey, in one place, at MyWhidbey.com
Whidbey Island runs on word of mouth.
A neighbor has a rental available. A local business is hiring. A community group is hosting a fundraiser. Someone has a boat, bicycle, sofa or set of tools to sell. A family is looking for pet services. A nonprofit wants to spread the word about a coming event.
The challenge is that those local notices often end up scattered across social media groups, email chains, bulletin boards and websites that aren’t built specifically for Whidbey Island.
That is where MyWhidbey.com comes in.
MyWhidbey is a new local listings website created for Whidbey residents, businesses, nonprofits, clubs and community groups. The site is designed to make it easier to post, browse and find local listings in one Whidbey-focused place.
Even better, during the launch period, listings are free through the end of the year with promo code MYWHIDBEY.
Clear category boxes let MyWhidbey visitors quickly choose the type of listing hey want to view.
Created for Whidbey Island
MyWhidbey was created by a longtime Whidbey resident who wanted to build a practical online resource for the island.
After years of seeing local information scattered across different platforms, the need seemed clear: Whidbey could use a simpler, more organized place focused only on local listings and the kinds of notices islanders actually use.
“Whidbey is a connected community, but local information is often spread out in a lot of different places. MyWhidbey is meant to be a practical tool – one place where people can post and find local listings that are actually relevant to the island.”
A simple way to browse local categories
The MyWhidbey homepage is built around clear category boxes, so visitors can quickly choose the type of listing they want to view.
Categories include Housing, Jobs, Business & Services, Marketplace, Vehicles, Pets / Animals, Events, Community and Free Stuff, with several subcategories within each category to help further define and organize each listing.
“Housing,” for example, includes homes for sale, land and lots, rentals and leases, vacation and short-term rentals, roommates and shared housing.
“Events” includes galleries and exhibits, arts and performances, classes and workshops, community events and fundraisers.
The idea is simple: instead of searching through unrelated posts, visitors can go directly to the section that matters to them.
MyWhidbey is offering free listings through the end of the year with promo code MYWHIDBEY.
Built for South, Central and North Whidbey
MyWhidbey is intended for the whole island. A Langley musician can promote a concert to visitors from Coupeville or Oak Harbor. A Freeland service provider can reach customers across the island. A Greenbank nonprofit can post a fundraiser. A Clinton resident can list furniture, tools or garden supplies. A North Whidbey employer can share a job opportunity with people island-wide.
That island-wide focus is part of what makes the site useful. Whidbey may be home to distinct communities, but people regularly travel, work, shop, volunteer, perform and gather across the island.
Free listings during the launch period
Because MyWhidbey is new, many categories are still waiting for their first posts. That’s part of the launch.
To encourage people to try the site, MyWhidbey is offering free listings through the end of the year with promo code MYWHIDBEY.
Local residents, businesses and organizations can use the promo code when posting to make eligible listings free during the launch period.
The easy-to-use MyWhidbey site makes it simple to post and browse listings unique to Whidbey Island.
Useful for businesses, nonprofits, neighbors and community groups
The site was built for everyday island needs. A small business can post a service. A landlord can list a rental. A neighbor can sell a used item. A nonprofit can promote an event. A pet owner can look for adoption, rehoming or pet services. A community group can share an announcement.
MyWhidbey is especially useful for listings that should remain easy to find after the first day they are posted.
After all, social media can be fast, but posts often disappear quickly in a feed. MyWhidbey organizes listings by category, making them easier to browse later.
A local alternative for local information
MyWhidbey is not trying to replace the many ways Whidbey residents already communicate. Instead, it adds another local tool – one focused specifically on listings.
That focus matters.
People browsing the site are not looking through a national marketplace or a general social feed. They are looking for Whidbey Island listings.
For people posting, that means reaching a more local audience. For people browsing, it means less sorting through listings from far outside the community.
Helping Whidbey neighbors connect
The tagline at the top of the site says it simply: “Where Whidbey neighbors connect.” That’s the goal behind MyWhidbey – to help people across the island share useful listings, support local businesses, promote community events and make everyday connections a little easier.
As more people post, the site will become a stronger resource for the island.
“We hope people will visit, look around and try posting something. The more Whidbey residents use it, the more useful it becomes for everyone.”
