Erick Harada and parents Steve and Kathy, part of a family which has given much to Whidbey.
One of the most prominent storefronts in Coupeville is hitting the open market.
After a successful run in what will always be “the Videoville building” to me, Harada Physical Therapy is pulling up stakes in Cow Town, while moving its clientele to its Oak Harbor location.
The Coupeville storefront in question is at 101 S. Main, right across from the elementary school.
In a letter to his clients, owner Erick Harada had the following to say:
As some of you may have heard, we will not be renewing our lease for the Coupeville clinic.
It has been a great 9+ year run in a town that holds a special place in my heart.
However, the ever-changing landscape of physical therapy that includes a nationwide shortage of physical therapists and insurance challenges have made it difficult to keep this location open.
We have started the transition of combining our staff into our Oak Harbor location where we hope to continue serving our Coupeville clientele.
For the time being, we will continue to operate under limited hours in Coupeville until our lease has run its course.
As a business owner, I am constantly balancing the economics of running a successful business, fairly compensating my employees, and being able to help as many members of the Whidbey community as possible.
I thank every one of you who have supported Harada Physical Therapy over the past 20+ years and appreciate your understanding while we continue to evolve and grow.
Your support allows us to do what we love best, which is helping others to live their lives to the fullest.
Thank you for trusting us with your health and we look forward to another great year on Whidbey.
