About San Juan Islands, Washington
The San Juan Islands are an archipelago of forested islands in Puget Sound, Washington State, between the US mainland and Vancouver Island, Canada. Known for their resident orca pods, abundant bald eagles, and unspoiled natural scenery, these islands are a popular destination for small-ship cruises. Friday Harbor on San Juan Island is the county seat and main town, accessible by ferry or float plane.
Whale watching is the star attraction—the three resident orca pods (J, K, and L pods) are frequently seen in the surrounding waters. Lime Kiln Point State Park on San Juan Island's western shore is globally recognized as one of the best land-based orca watching sites. Sea kayaking among the islands provides intimate wildlife encounters. Orcas Island's Moran State Park offers excellent hiking and views from Mount Constitution.
