Foreclosure in Island County
Island County (Whidbey and Camano Islands) follows the same statewide non-judicial timeline — including the right to sell right up until the trustee's sale. The county seat is Coupeville, and Island County foreclosures follow Washington's statewide non-judicial process: the Notice of Trustee's Sale is recorded with the Island County Auditor in Coupeville, and by law the sale can't happen sooner than 120 days after recording. Auctions are typically held at the Island County Courthouse in Coupeville.
Wherever you are in the process, you have options — and usually more time than it feels like. You can reinstate up to 11 days before the sale, and you can sell right up until the sale itself. See the full Washington foreclosure timeline or all your options.
