Meg Olson is one of those people who make a town feel like home.
If you’ve ever walked into Kingfisher Bookstore and felt immediately welcomed, challenged, entertained, or gently told what you should be reading—there’s a good chance you’ve met Meg Olson.
Meg is the owner of Kingfisher Bookstore in Coupeville, and she is funny, outspoken, wildly knowledgeable, and absolutely unafraid to jump in and help—whether that means finding the perfect book, rallying behind a cause, or showing up for her community when it counts.
Kingfisher isn’t just a bookstore—it’s a place for ideas, conversations, author events, and the occasional opinion, and Meg has been at the center of all of it. She’s helped shape the literary life of Whidbey Island while proving that an independent bookstore can be smart, bold, welcoming, and deeply human all at the same time.
Today, we’re talking about books, business, community, and what it really takes to run an independent bookstore with heart, humor, and a very strong point of view.
If you have been listening to me for a while, you know I adored Meg! She is my kind of human.
