Bayview or Whidbey City is a community centered around the intersection of Washington State Route 525 and Bayview Road. It is located on Whidbey Island in Washington state.
It is approximately 5 miles (8km) west of the village of Clinton, and 4 miles (6km) south of the city of Langley.
Bayview has a grocery store (Casey's Red Apple), a hardware store (Sebo's Do-it Center), and a craft store. One gas station, an Exxon, sits by the highway. Bayview is also the home of the South Whidbey Seniors' Center, Island County Fire District #3, and Whidbey Telecom. Bayview Corner is a collection of older buildings renovated in the early part of the 21st Century to house an art gallery, nursery, cafes and specialty shops. A farmer's market operates here during the summer months. Across Bayview Road from this area is a renovated Sears-kit house, originally built in Greenbank.
Just south of the commercial area on Bayview Road is one of Whidbey Island's off-leash dog parks, Marguerite Brons Memorial Off-Leash Park.
The people who live in the area refer to it as Bayview. However, they officially live in one of three towns: Freeland, Clinton, or Langley.
Bayview is not to be confused with Bay View, located on the mainland in Skagit County.
