They’re claiming their territory.

With the first day of school fast approaching, some Coupeville seniors were out and about Thursday night, painting their parking spots in the CHS lot.

An annual tradition, the application of a roller brush to school asphalt is the surest sign fall is around the corner.

A tale as old as time, yet as fresh as a new coat of paint.

Ember Light gets creative.

Wolf coaches Craig Anderson (left) and Jon Roberts “monitor” the situation.

Scrub a dub dub, make it spic and span.

Showing off their community spirit and appreciation for US Navy history, a group came together Friday at Oak Harbor’s Gateway Park.

The mission was to clean the A-6 Intruder and EA-6B planes which welcome visitors to the island, while also getting rid of pesky weeds at the intersection of SR20 and Ault Field.

The group included NAS Whidbey Island sailors, Pacific Northwest Naval Air Museum volunteers, City of Oak Harbor workers, and Intruder Association members.

Back from his summer RV trip across America, camera clicker John Fisken, himself a Navy alumnus, swung by to snap the pics seen above and below.
