BACKGROUND: The San
Juan Islands are situated due north of Puget Sound. The main islands are San Juan, Orcas, Lopez,
Shaw and Blakely Islands all serviced by Washington State Ferries. Puget Sound North map covers waters from
the Canadian border to the north south to the southern end of Whidbey Island
and west to Dungeness Spit in Juan de Fuci Strait. The San Juan Islands are much different and
more rugged than it's counterpart to the south. The topography of the islands varies from
the peaks on Orcas to the rolling flatlands of Whidbey Island. There is something for everyone and every
skill levels. These islands provide
spectacular whale watching opportunities with some of the best being off the
west side of San Juan Island. There are
also many protected harbors and passageways with calm waters versus the more
open waters of Sucia and Prevost Islands to the north.
ACCESS; Access to the northern waters of Puget Sound or the
main San Juan Islands (Lopez, Orcas, San Juan Island and Shaw) is available via
Washington State Ferry from Anacortes Washington and Sidney, British Columbia
only. In the south both Whidbey and
Camano Islands are connected to the mainland with bridges. Whidbey Island also has two ferry
connections from Mukilteo (east coast) and Port Townsend (west coast).
