VISION

The City of Oak Harbor is a beautiful place where the natural environment is woven into the urban environment with such care and precision that the sense of where the built form stops and nature begins is not known.

It’s a place where human nature has the opportunity to find its balance with its surroundings by merging of the urban and natural environment in seamless ways, inviting nature into the community and creating a wide range of spaces and experience where community can gather as one or the energy of one can rest in solitude and peace.

It is a town where the residents of all age groups are active and healthy, and have a wide range of choices for recreation, engaging themselves in mental and physical activity all year round.

It’s a City where the environment is clean with beautiful landscapes that line the streets and pathways, opening up to breath taking views of the water and mountains. It invites boaters and kayakers into the community compelling them to spend time at this premier waterfront community.
