There are 172 named islands and reefs in San Juan County, however the four ferry served Islands; San Juan Island (with the county seat Friday Harbor), Orcas Island, Lopez Island, and Shaw are the most populous and host the vast majority of lodging and dining options and tourism activities.
Say farewell to worry and stress and say hello to the mellow island vibe, a temperate year-round climate, and long, lazy hours of doing just what you want. Count on temperatures around 70° in the summer and 40° in the winter. A happy confluence of weather systems also accounts for the high level of air quality you’ll appreciate across the San Juans.
So relax—you’re on “island time” now!
