Gearing up for brand new episodes!!!
FOR WHIDBBBEEEYYY
When I first arrived on Whidbey in 1970 as a young Naval Aviator one of the first in town places I went to was Chris’s Bakery on Main Street for a doughnut and a cup of coffee enjoying the view overlooking the harbor and Penns Cove. It started a tradition of going to Chris’s every Saturday morning as often as I could and seeing a lot of people I got to know over the years. In those days, Whidbey Island was idyllic, one traffic light on the whole island and only two lane roads, again, on the whole island. Lived there, Coupeville address, for thirty nine years and the island is no longer the same and never will be again. My first house on 9th and Clapp in Coupeville with half a block cost $11,000 and five acres off Patmore was under $10,000. Those days are gone as am I but the memories of earlier days and Chris’s Bakery will always remain.
That sounds lovely! We know Whidbey is changing but it is still the best place in the world! Semper Fortis!!
kudos to nick and crew. while i didn’t know him personally when living on whidbey, he did an awesome job finding ways to make oak harbor a fun place to live. i remember seeing his sticker all over the place and people always smiling when they would talk about him. keep it up and can’t wait to binge this series.
Thank you for the kind words! Hope we can meet eventually! -Nick
Yay!! Feel like I’m watching Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern again but better!
Andrew is the man!!
“Needless to say, I got demoted” lol 😂
Nick is a tad clumsy😂
I LOVE that you are doing this!!!

You started off a little cheesy with the arcade, brought me the hungry with the fries, then brought me some soul with how much Blue Fox has really meant to this community. Thank you!
Thank you so much for watching! We love The Blue Fox and really hope more Islanders can discover how awesome it really is! P.S. we always deliver the cheese😎😂

So they keep removing my comment. I'll never do business with these people because Patrick is an outspoken homophobe.

So glad my childhood bakery returned! Growing up here in Oak Harbor, my Mom always bought the best Potato Rolls and sugar donuts I've ever eaten. Those almond crescents are crazy yummo!! Hope your show can reach the masses ~ Congrats to you and your video crew!!

I don’t know about Mike Rowe or Guy Fieri, but I’m happy to say that Nick is this way in real life.
He is goober😂
Such a great establishment! My mil called during the height of covid from Texas and they came in on their day off baked me a cake bd cake and delivered it! I didn't know all the details until after. Forever the best, especially the maple bacon bars!
That's incredible!! They really go the extra mile!
I can't wait to see the episode about the mysterious inn. I already want to go!

Love the tee!

Whidbey rocks!
Great film Nick, Tyler & Willie! We love the Blue Fox! In a time where SO many family activities are not affordable for working class families - kudos to the Blue Fox for being a destination for fantastic, affordable family fun.
Thank you Dave!! The Blue Fox is a great place for families!!
Would love for you to showcase the island healing arts community!

My Aunt who lives here plus cousins told me about this series. I've visited there and its beautiful!

Great job Nick! My only issues with Blue Fox is Nick lets their family dog roam the grounds unleashed. He poops all over, harasses dogs that are leashed, and steals food from kids. I mentioned it to Nick at the bar and be just rolled his eyes.
Omg so cool I miss home!
Home misses you!! New episode coming soon!! Thank you for following!!
This was absolutely awesome. Thank you so much for highlighting a great local business!!!
New Episodes incoming! Follow us! What's your guess on our next featured business?
That was awesome Nick!!
We have a great crew that makes him look good! -Nick
Loved this!! The blue fox family and staff are amazing!
They really are! Kelsey was so accommodating for our crew!! We are blessed on the Island!
I remember going to that drive in back when I was stationed at the Naval Air Station from 71 thru 75. It was pretty basic but a great place to take a date even though there was a base movie theater and a theater in Oak Harbor. Great times
I had no idea that had so much to offer!!!! My first time coming to Oak Harbor was to go to Blue Fox!
Kim there is SOOOOO much to do!!
This is so awesome to see how far they have come and to hear the back stories about how they started and where they came from❤. I can remember the arcade being just enough fun waiting for and in-between movies but my all time favorite is the go carts and the food lol. Watching this brought me to tears and gave me goosebumps the whole time what an awesome and beautiful video!
Thank you so much!! Our goal at Working on Whidbey is to show everyone how great our Community, local businesses, and FAMILIES are!!!!
I love Whidbey island born and raised here and I love that this beautiful island is being recognized so other people can see just how special it really is!!! ❤
