Discover Your Local Farm on Orcas Island!
The Blender, a Williams-Sonoma blog written by Monica Bennett, paints a picturesque portrait of our amazing island…“My first encounter with an organic, farm fresh egg was on Orcas Island in the San Juan Islands of Washington State, and I could hardly wait to get back to this island to fulfill my egg obsession. Lucky for me, that is exactly where my family and I were heading.” Give a read to Monica’s wonderful overview, and then contact the Chamber to plan your visit to Orcas Island.

Visit Orcas Island — Gem of the San Juan Islands

People visit or live here for various reasons, but all of those reasons are invariably linked to the natural beauty the island possesses. The wildlife enjoys it as well. Here, eagles soar, whales breach, various species of birds gather, deer graze contentedly and otters and fish swim in the surrounding waters.

Orcas is best described as rural. Opportunities for outdoor activities abound. Mount Constitution, the highest point in the San Juan archipelago, promises splendid vistas from its 2409-foot summit. Moran State park features several lakes which host various activities.

Miles of shoreline ribbon the island with numerous beaches, both public and private. Surrounding land masses offer the San Juans protection from harsh weather, so the islands enjoy a year round climate that is more moderate than other locations in the Pacific Northwest.

The islanders gather in several quaint villages dotted around the island, with Eastsound being the major hub of island activity. Each community is unique and celebrates its individuality in different ways throughout the year.

This beautiful island has something for everyone … kayak in the Puget Sound; climb a mountain trail to enjoy the beautiful vistas; see Orca whales and marine wildlife; stroll through Eastsound village, exploring the small town shops; enjoy a wide array of superb dining choices; or simply sit back, relax, and enjoy the natural beauty of Orcas Island. The Orcas Island Chamber of Commerce hopes a visit to our island is in your plans. Please let us know how we can help.
