Langley (Lushootseed: sc̓q̓abac)[4][5][6] is a city in Island County, Washington, United States.

For centuries, people came to the site of Langley to camp during the summer months, and there was a village nearby at Sandy Point (Lushootseed: č̓əč̓ɬqs), which, as of 1792, was inhabited by about 200 people; however, the Snohomish were removed to the Tulalip Reservation in the late 1800s, and the village was abandoned.

The modern settlement of Langley was founded in the 1890s by Jacob Anthes, and the town was incorporated in 1913.

[6] Nearby, there was a village of the dəgʷasx̌abš, a Snohomish band, approximately one mile east of Langley on Sandy Point (Lushootseed: č̓əč̓ɬqs).

[b][4][5][6] This village had a large potlatch house, which brought visitors, even as distant as the Samish, during festivities.

[10] In the 18th and 19th centuries, smallpox epidemics rocked the Northwest Coast, killing 90 percent of the population.

[12] In 1902, Anthes built a logger bunkhouse that still stands in the downtown core (now functioning as the South Whidbey Historical Society Museum).

In the late 1900s, a number of 4H rabbits escaped their enclosures at the Island County Fair and went on to thrive as a large feral population initially residing around the county fairgrounds and later spreading throughout Langley and south Whidbey Island.

In the 2010s the rabbits became a controversial issue in local politics, with citizens and groups advocating for public policy positions from removal and relocation to eradication.

Some favored controlling the rabbit population using raptors, while others advocated for a more lenient position of community acceptance.

During the Prohibition era, the building was host to underground boxing and wrestling matches which were illegal on the mainland.

[20] Langley is also served by a sewage treatment facility on Coles Road, operated by the city's Public Works Department.

[21] Paull Schell, the former mayor of Seattle, was an influence on city politics in the 90s and 2000s, constructing the Inn at Langley.

Facilities include restrooms and showers, water and 110v 20, 30, 50, and 100 amp power at the docks, a floating pump out station, and a boat launch.

The project estimated to cost $4 million envisages improvements to the accessibility and energy efficiency while retaining the period appearance.

During the project execution of 9–12 months, the library is temporarily located in the South Whidbey Community Center.

A fake newspaper story is run in the South Whidbey Record or in a fake newspaper that can be purchased from the Visitor & Information Center, detailing the persons involved and instructing players to seek out characters played by local residents.

This five-day festival celebrates the Romani jazz style of Django Reinhardt, and features workshops, concerts, and impromptu jam sessions around town.

The original Island County Fair Association was formed in 1912, predating the incorporation of Langley.

[35] According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.08 square miles (2.80 km2), all of it land.
