San Juan Island is located in northwestern Washington and is the second-largest of the San Juan Islands. The island is connected to the mainland by Washington State Ferries, which dock at Friday Harbor, San Juan Island's major town.

The old landmarks and remnants of British and American camps are now part of the San Juan Island National Historical Park.

Just outside Friday Harbor is the University of Washington’s marine research lab and campus, which was established in 1909.

Other interesting places to visit are the Whale Museum, the new art museum, the San Juan Community Theatre, and the outdoor sculpture park near Roche Harbor.

Lime Kiln Park is the place to sit and watch orcas swim by.
