I'm (Louie Bloom) from Manaco Beach, Camano Island. I've lived on Camano (off and on), since 1957. I installed septic systems from 1980 to 2003. I like collecting and sharing facts and documents. I've got another website/blog at http://lbloom.net My latest hobby/entertainment is growing oysters. Oysters grow great in our Camano Island waters, if protected from storms and predators. Here's some oyster information There was a 1930 oyster growing operation in Port Susan by Warm Beach. There is an Island County 1933 Plat of Camano BluePoint Oyster Tracts in the middle of Port Susan saltwater. There's a public oyster beach at Penn Cove, on Whidbey Island. Here's a few links to oyster/shellfish webpages that I like. Here's a 1958 Camano Island Tourist map. (300 KB) My parents, Melvin and Mary Bloom owned Manaco Resort. Here's a 1959 Camano Island Tourist map with resort and realty ads. (180 KB) Here's an article from the February 1994 Stanwood/Camano News Soundings that tells about the history of Camano Island resorts. (480 Kilobytes) Here's information about Baby Island. This is a link to a 1.2 megabyte Camano Island 1960 Metzger Map with property owner names It's a great map! I wish they had maps like this today. This is a link to a 1994 Everett Herald newspaper article and 1994 Mother Jones magazine cartoon story about when a creationist lecturer gave a talk at a Stanwood school, and how a local "activist" was able to change the school and school board policy. Some Wa St Univ people walked the 50.2 miles of shoreline around Camano Island in May/June 2002. There's pictures with lots of Camano seashore information. http://island.wsu.edu/camano/harden/ Here's a website about Island County Beach Watchers, with Camano beach information. beachwatchers.wsu.edu/ This is a link to photocopies of the 1930 U.S. Camano Island Census Names, job titles, and salaries of 2004 City of Stanwood (32 employees), 2002 Island County (402 employees), 2002 Stanwood/Camano Island School District (599 employees). This is a link to Phillip Harmon federal courthouse documents. If you've been on Camano since 1994, you know what this is about. Here's information from the July 5, 1994 Stanwood/Camano News article, about public and private beaches on Camano. Are there whales or orcas around Camano today?
