The broadcast originated from the 1905 Coupeville Wharf in historic Coupeville, WA on Whidbey Island's Penn Cover. Partner for this broadcast is the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation, who in 2024 added Coupeville Wharf to their list of MOST ENDANGERED PLACES in the Evergreen State - partly because of the long-term threats from climate change.
