It’s done-done.

The Coupeville School District ran two replacement levies this year, and both overwhelmingly passed with voters.

And now that’s official, as the Island County Auditor’s office certified the election Friday morning, announcing final totals.

Proposition 1 – Replacement Educational Programs and Operations Levy tallied 2,395 yes votes, or 63.76% percent.

Meanwhile, Proposition 2 – Replacement School District Technology Capital Projects Levy finished at 64.89% with 2,432 positives votes.

The levies, which replaced ones voted into place in 2022, needed 50% + 1 vote to pass.

Voters show deep support for Coupeville schools

Posted in elections, tagged , , , on February 11, 2026| Leave a Comment »

The first numbers are in and so far, it’s a blowout win for the Coupeville School District.

Voters are overwhelmingly approving two replacement levies, which would replace ones voted into place in 2022.

While levies require 50% + 1 vote to pass, Coupeville’s have pulled in much more than that through the first counts released Tuesday night by Island County officials.

Proposition 1 – Replacement Educational Programs and Operations Levy has tallied 1,588 yes votes, or 63.67% percent.

Meanwhile, Proposition 2 – Replacement School District Technology Capital Projects Levy is at 64.71% with 1,610 positives votes.

As of Tuesday, Island County states that 6,381 ballots have been counted, with an estimated 1,200 ballots remaining.

That second number can increase if additional ballots with valid postmarks are received.

Officials will issue another count Wednesday night, with the election finalized Feb. 20.

Luke and Beverly Currier

It was a slam dunk.

Luke Currier, who graduated from Coupeville High School in the early ’90s, then married fellow Wolf Beverly Robinett, has been swept into political office by the voters of Anacortes.

The former CHS athlete, now the CEO of Skagit Valley’s Land Title and Escrow Company, received 66% of the vote in the race to obtain an open seat on the Anacortes City Council.

“Thank you, Anacortes! I am truly humbled by your support and honored to be elected to serve,” Currier said in a statement.

“This community means everything to Bev and I.

“I am grateful for every conversation, every encouraging message, and every person who believed in this campaign.”

While Currier will be new to the City Council, he has plenty of prior experience helping guide growth in the area, as he sits on the Anacortes Planning Commission and the Executive Board of the Anacortes Chamber of Commerce.

After finishing his high school days in Coupeville, Currier earned a B.A. in Political Science from Western Washington University and an Executive MBA from Seattle University.

Nancy Conard

Bryan Sherman

Morgan White

They’re keeping the team together.

All three Coupeville School Board directors up for reelection in 2025 have filed to retain their seats.

And no one is opposing them.

When the deadline for filing hit Friday afternoon at 5:00 PM, Coupeville High School alumni Morgan White, Nancy Conard, and Bryan Sherman were the only ones to have tossed their names into the mix.

White and Conard are running for a second term, having first been elected in 2021 by wide margins over their opponents.

Sherman is running for the first time, having been appointed in September 2024 to replace Sherry Phay after she resigned in the final year of her second go-round.

The other two school board directors — Chic Merwine and Alison Perera — are currently serving terms which run through 2027.
