Whidbey Island is just to the west of Everett, the carrier air wing is stationed there. CVN68 was stationed in Bremerton Wa before, (I think ) Everett is about 40 miles north of Seattle of the east side of Puget Sound

Incorrect. The squadrons which comprise a Carrier Air Wing - CVW - are dispersed at several Naval Air Stations. No CVW is headquartered at Whidbey. Whidbey is home to mostly VAQ - EA-6B and EA-18G - and VP - P3 - squadrons. Only one VAQ squadron is part of a CVW. The Lincoln's CVW, CVW-2, is headquartered at NAS Lemoore.
