About San Juan Islands, Washington | Click here to see lodging list |  |
No it is not that San Juan (Puerto Rico). These San Juan Islands are located in the Northwest United States in the Puget Sound area of Washington State. And there is nothing much like them anywhere in the world, and certainly not in Puerto Rico.Just a 1.5 hour drive and a ferry ride away from metropolitan Seattle, the San Juans are a world apart. The group consists of 172 islands that have names and many smaller ones that do not. The three major islands, which have ferry service, are Lopez, Orcas and San Juan Island. You can reach them by a Washington State ferry, airplane or boat. Private boat transportation is available for service to most of the other inhabited islands. The waters of Puget Sound are pristine as they are swept in and out to the Pacific Ocean twice a day. Fish, birds and giant mammals including Orca (Killer) whales are common. So are whale and nature watching trips. The islands were part of the traditional area of the Central Coast Salish Island nations who even today retain a presence in the area. Boaters from throughout the Washington State area and further spend days, weeks and months cruising the waters around the San Juans, which boast many varied marina's and docking facilities. The islands are alive with history and an explanation of their very Spanish name in a very not-Spanish area of the world. There are historical museums on the three main islands are full of fascinating history. |
