Practical Magic was filmed in Coupville, Washington and after I found out I was excited that hubby decided to take a trip there and play tourist!
Practical Magic is one of my personal favorite spooky October movies. It has Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, two sisters who come from a long line of witchy relatives. Sisters Sally and Gillian Owens, descended from a long line of witches. Raised by their aunts after their parents’ death from a family curse, the sisters were taught the uses of practical magic as they grew up.
The downtown area of the movie was filmed here in the PNW in Coupeville, Washington, on Whidbey Island. The downtown scenes were filmed in Coupeville near the waterfront. I read that the downtown buildings were painted white, and the local community helped transform the waterfront for filming. After filming was finished, they painted the buildings back to their original color, and the waterfront was transformed back to Coupeville.
The Owen Witches lived in a beautiful white house overlooking the Salish Sea. It was a shell that was built on San Juan Island. After filming was finshed, they took it down! Such a shame! Haha🤣
All the interior scenes were filmed in a studio in Hollywood, modeled after a home located on San Juan Valley Road in Washington State. The conservatory (sunroom/ garden) was taken apart in Los Angeles and rebuilt to film the exterior scenes.
Before 2020 Coupeville on Whidbey Island celebrated the anniversary of the release of Practical Magic, I am not sure if they still do it, but if they do, I will be there, LOL!
The farmers market shown in the movie, shot in downtown Coupeville was stocked with natural products from local farmers.
Toby’s Tavern is turning into The Catch and Fry (from the movie). Side note they have some excellent local seafood, Penn Cove Mussels. I ate there with hubby!
The Little Red Hen Bakery was transformed into Sally’s Verbena Botanicals shop.
Just head over for a fun visit
