Located on San Juan Island, one of 172 islands in the scenic archipelago in Washington State, Friday Harbor is a historic, incredibly charming, and walkable seaport with small, friendly shops and family-owned restaurants. Everything on the island is within walking distance. Take a stroll and you will see something new around every bend in the road: An alpaca ranch, a green valley with grazing cows or sheep, a fragrant lavender farm, lush vineyards with a tasting room in an old former schoolhouse, a dense old forest that gives way to the shimmering sea, a passing pod of orca whales, and two historic iconic lighthouses. In town, you can visit the Whale Museum, the San Juan Islands Museum of Art, the San Juan Historical Museum, and the San Juan Community Theatre.
