Friday Harbor, the town and its people, on San Juan Island in Washington State

Friday Harbor
San Juan Island

Dining, exploring art galleries, shopping, walking, slowing down. . .relaxing.

Friday Harbor is a walking kind of town. Most of the hotels, boutique hotels and Bed and Breakfasts are in our little town.

San Juan Island. Yum!

Don't you love running water?
Sit by this in the park

and just relax.

Friday's Crab House and Fajita booth
are right next to our Friday Harbor appointment desk.
That is Cole preparing the fajitas.

Here is Larry creating another art piece from glass.
He is on the other side of our appointment desk in Friday Harbor.

Fresh CRAB and SHRIMP from Keith who is
right behind our desk in Roche Harbor.

I know you can barely see this, but it is a
TUFTED PUFFIN and it was off shore on the
southern most part of the island. My husband
and I were quite excited. They are
usually only seen off Lopez Island.

Walk the docks. Check out the seals
that visit the docks.

Sit and just enjoy the sunsets on the water.

Our town of Friday Harbor is quaint. It is said to be a "real town". What the folks that said that meant was that it was not like Winthrop. Not a "theme town". Friday Harbor is a working town where townspeople work, shop, visit and live.

The character of the island is rural as you can see via these numerous photos.

Check back again. More photos to be added.
