It generally is, and is one of my favorite places in Washington, though if you piss off a judge there it can go badly for you. I received three times the jail time there for one conviction than I did in King Country for the exact same offense, and the Whidbey sentence was the first sentence, so 'repeat offender' considerations did not apply.

For what it's worth, I have absolutely no idea why the judge in Whidbey had something against me. I am always completely respectful towards law enforcement and judges, which has almost always served me very well. In this particular case, the judge seemed offended that I would commit any crime within his city or something. I dunno. In any case, we are talking small potatoes here, just several weeks at the minimum-security work camp at the Evergreen State fairgrounds in the off-season.
