Details About Friday Harbor

Destinations » Pacific Seaboard » U.S. West Coast » Friday Harbor


Friday Harbor and San Juan Island provide a remarkably simple escape, serviced directly by the Washington State ferry system and easily accessible from Seattle, Washington and Vancouver or Victoria, British Columbia. Once you're on San Juan Island, as the ebb and flow of island life leaves you relaxed, refreshed, and rejuvenated, you just might forget how easy it was to get here and find it unbearably hard to leave.

Adventures

The public marina is homeport to a multitude of yachts, sailboats, and whale watching charter boats. A five-minute walk uphill from the marina or ferry landing brings you into the heart of town and a variety of boutiques, galleries, gift shops, and the ever-essential and practical grocery and hardware stores. You can even find every possible kind of salsa and hot sauce made and known to humankind in one of the shops! Entertainment includes the naming of some of these sauces. This is not an activity for the faint of heart.

Currency

The U.S. dollar (USD) is the official currency. Traveler's checks and credit cards are also widely accepted.
