Still Park was a large recreation retreat center located at the west end of Penn Cove just outside Coupeville, Washington. The inn was built by Captain Whidbey and opened in 1907. The inn and park were developed by Judge Lester Still and included camping, cabins, horse trails, tennis courts, dance pavilion and a warm salt water swimming pool. The inn originally contained 15 sleeping rooms upstairs and a large gathering room downstairs with a two-sided fireplace. Daily steamers from both Seattle and Everett were the original links to the outside world bringing passengers, supplies and mail to the dock located at the eastward-facing front of the inn. Automobile access was available via ferry before Deception Pass Bridge was completed in 1935. The inn still stands, but the original cabins are gone. [source: Wikipedia] Seven cards sold as a lot.
