If you love coffee, community, and creative magic, do I have an episode for you!

Today, we’re talking about Beaver Tales Coffee—aka the beating heart of caffeine and connection on the Coupeville Wharf. And at the helm of this cozy, soul-warming operation? None other than Michelle Calvin and Tony Cladusbid, the brilliant duo bringing people together over perfectly brewed cups of joy, delicious food and the Coupeville Creative District’s community project and creative hub—which, in simple terms, means it’s about to become the ultimate gathering place for artists, dreamers, and doers of all kinds.

This space was Michelle’s vision, rooted in a desire to honor her Indigenous family and the many teachings passed down through generations. It has become Tony’s passion—a way to carry forward the living culture of his Lower Skagit ancestors, who lived along these shores long before Coupeville ever had a name. This is not a reenactment or a memorial. This is culture, alive and evolving—honored through story, food, language, and connection.

When you visit the Wharf, Michelle and Tony invite you to explore the entire area. Experience Native culture as it lives, breathes, and thrives today. Listen to stories being told by the people who carry them and Support Native-owned spaces that exist not to be remembered, but to be seen and experienced. Acknowledging and supporting the Indigenous people who are still here, still building, and still carrying incredible stories forward.

If you are wondering what a Creative District is made up of, let me break it down. Creative Districts exist to nurture local talent, support the arts, and create spaces where culture and commerce come together. And Beaver Tales? It’s stepping up in a BIG way, transforming into a true hearth for upcoming programs, events, and collaborations that celebrate Coupeville’s creative spirit. Plus, I want to discuss the 10 Rules of the Canoe! Don’t know what that is? You will find out.

So, grab your favorite brew (or, if you’re driving, at least think about coffee lovingly), and get ready to hear how Michelle and Tony are brewing up more than just lattes—they’re helping fuel the very soul of Coupeville.
