The San Juan Islands are the home of three pods (families) of Orcas (killer whales). Whale watch tours are available from late May through September. Bus tours of the Island are also available during this time.
San Juan Island is the location of the 'Pig War' between the United State and Great Britain from 1859 to 1872 (The only casualty was the pig). This 'war' determined the boundary between the United States and Canada. San Juan Island National Historical Park consists of the two opposing camp grounds.
Friday Harbor and the San Juan Islands are a very rural setting. It is not uncommon to see Bald Eagles soaring overhead or deer, foxes and other creatures wandering through town. Orcas, Minke Whales, porpoises and seals abound in the local waters. Clean air, clean water, no traffic signals and no parking meters add to the many other comforts of this idyllic area. Plane, boat or auto ferry are the only ways to get here. The boat/ferry ride through this archipelago is an adventure by itself.
