WHIDBEY ISLAND — A landslide has destroyed two homes on Whidbey Island.

KIRO-TV reports the homes were on Campers Row, a community along the Puget Sound accessible only by a private walkway. The homes lost over the weekend bring the total homes destroyed in recent months in the landslide-prone area to four.

Residents of the area and local authorities have hired geologists to analyze the continuously eroding hillside.
