Coupeville(pop. 1,745) is the second oldest city in the state of Washington. It was established in the mid 1880s by Captain Thomas Coupe and his wife Maria. The town thrived as a shipping port for wool, lumber, grain and apples. Today it is a tiny historical town with a number of 19th century homes and storefronts, with more than 50 of which are listed on the National Historic Register. It is also home to the oldest surviving wharf in Puget Sound which today is home to Rosie, the only known gray whale skeleton on public display.
