Fire took down an iconic Central Whidbey barn Monday night, turning the historic structure into charred rubble. Firefighters with Central Whidbey Fire & Rescue responded to a report of a house and barn fire shortly after 8 p.m. and arrived to find the Smith Barn on Ebey Road in Coupeville fully engulfed in flames. Within 20 minutes, the entire structure had collapsed while the nearby farmhouse was unimpacted. The Smith Barn was an integral part of Georgie Smith’s Willowood Farm. It has been in the Smith family for more than a century and was one of Ebey Prairie’s most recognizable and photographed landmarks.
