San Juan County

An island county made up of the San Juan Islands, known for orca watching, sea kayaking and quiet island towns.

San Juan County, Washington, is made up of the San Juan Islands in the Salish Sea. It is the smallest county in the state by area and has no road connection to the mainland. The main islands are San Juan Island, Orcas Island and Lopez Island: on San Juan Island, Friday Harbor is the main town and Lime Kiln Point State Park is a well-known place to watch orcas from shore; on Orcas Island, Mount Constitution overlooks the archipelago; and Lopez Island is gently flat and good for cycling. Summers are mild and dry, ideal for whale-watching cruises and sea kayaking. You can reach the islands by Washington State Ferries from Anacortes, and there are also floatplanes and small commuter flights.
