San Juan County, Washington

San Juan Location Map Washington

The San Juan Islands are a paradise for nature lovers and adventure seekers. This county sits in the Salish Sea, northwest of Seattle near the Canadian border. It’s made up of 172 named islands, but only four are served by ferries.

Orcas swim through these waters. Bald eagles soar overhead. The pace of life here is slower, more relaxed. You can kayak, whale watch, or just chill on a beach.

Friday Harbor on San Juan Island is the biggest town. It’s cute and touristy in a good way. Hiking and biking are popular ways to explore. The views are insane including water, mountains, forests everywhere you look. San Juan County feels like a whole different world from the mainland.
