There is no place in San Juan County that more effectively embodies the old meeting the new than San Juan Island.
One of the oldest locations of US and European settlement in the county, San Juan Island is the only island with parkland monuments dating back to the mid 1800s. Its interior countryside is doted with farmland and beautiful, quaint country houses. Yet this historic region is also the county’s most modern.
The town of Friday Harbor is the only incorporated township in San Juan County, and is the seat of the county government. While it doesn’t have all of the modern accoutrements of the city, visitors to Friday Harbor will notice just a hint of the urban in its building-lined streets, awkward intersections, and sidewalk accessibility.
