Samish Shore Lines Newsletter Page | Email Groups Page | Web Page | Samish Island Bulletin Board | Samish Saves Resources Blog |
Island residents communicate through a newsletter, the web page, email groups, the Samish Island Bulletin Board at the island entrance, and a "saving resources" blog. There is also a print phone directory for residents only, and a tide calendar adjusted for the island. All are published by the Samish Island Community Club, with member dues.
Samish Shore Lines Newsletter
The Samish Shore Lines is published monthly. Deadline for submissions is the first Thursday of each month. The print version of the Shore Lines is delivered to island mailboxes the following Tuesday, and is posted on the web page soon thereafter. Visit the Shore Lines page for current and back issues, and additional information about submitting articles and ads.

Samish Island Bulletin Board
The bulletin board at the entrance to the island is available to display posters or signs. Here are the guidelines:
- Notices may be pinned or tacked (no staples or nails) only to the corkboard area of the sign
- Only Samish Island residents may post signs, only Island phone numbers may be referenced - the phone number prefix must be 766. No cell phone numbers, without an island address.
- Never attach anything to the wood framework of the sign.
- Notices that don't meet the above criteria will be removed.
The sign and its maintenance are a gift to the Island from the Edgewater Garden Club. See contact information on the groups page for more information.
Samish Saves Resources Blog
Islander Steve Hoffman created the Samish Saves Resources blog for islanders to save resources. In the meantime we have started the Samish Neighbors email group, which encourages sharing and borrowing stuff, including rides or errands. The email group may replace the blog, but you can use either and decide which works best for you.
