Oak Harbor is a small city on the north side of Whidbey Island, between the Washington mainland and the Olympic Peninsula. Positioned right next door to Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, the city is home to a large population of armed service personnel and civilian military employees, giving the community a distinctive character. The wide selection of rental options is complemented by a large shopping and dining scene, plus areas like Windjammer Park and Whidbey Golf Club that provide terrific opportunities to soak in the salt air outdoors. Though somewhat isolated, living in Oak Harbor puts you within day trip distance of both Seattle and Vancouver, as well as the rainforests of Olympic National Park and the rugged peaks of the Cascade Mountains.
