The San Juan Islands with their inspiring nature and wildlife are home to more working artists than anywhere else in Washington State. There are seven galleries and five museums in walking distance to Friday Harbor’s ferry alone.

This is Big Mama, otherwise known as BCY0324. Humpback Whales were the most widely-hunted species in our area and hadn’t been seen for 100 years until the nineties. 

Beautiful San Juan Island is famous for exquisite whale and wildlife watching, for boating, kayaking and fishing, and just about anything having to do with the Salish Sea.

What are you looking for in a beach? Are you a birder or a jogger? Are you a stone skipper, kite flyer or a sand castle builder?

Not all of us get the Summer off. For some, Summer is even the busiest time of the year. Luckily paradise is only a ferry ride or short flight away from Seattle, making San Juan Island the perfect spot to get away for a weekend to relax and recharge and create memories, that will last a lifetime.
