To us this signifies space and opportunity to enjoy a life rich in experience; a place for fearless selfexpression, unleashed with vigor and gusto; the space to find one’s purpose and embody it in daily practice; a comforting, secure environment from which we offer ourselves in service to others. When we ask, “what’s your island dream?”, we pay attention to the answer. We apply the Golden Rule. We knowwhat’s at stake, because we understand what our Island Dream means to each of us. As Windermere brokers, we are students of the ever-evolving real estate market. There is no room for complacency. We are tactically proficient, using the latest industry tools to achieve outstanding results. But, we are also alive to the art and nuance of our profession. It requires patience, humor, intuition, persistence, and field experience, to become a partner and guide for our clients. We are committed to the growth of our Island Communities that are energized, resilient, and peaceful. Our belief is that strong communities cultivate the core values of tolerance, equity, respect, collaboration, and good will. Our actions demonstrate the highest regard for these values. By investing ourselves in the San Juan’s tapestry of distinctive, community-minded islanders, we seek to build a vibrant, diverse, and interesting landscape – a community which nurtures and sustains everyone.

Orcas Island S OFF THE NORTHWEST COAST OF WASHINGTON STATE, in
the middle of the Salish Sea, sits this horseshoe shaped island that is lovingly termed the Gem of the San Juan Islands. With 57 square miles of surface area, Orcas Island is the largest island in this archipelago. Lush and green, the varying topography of this island, in conjunction with its location in the Olympic Mountain rain shadow, creates a series of micro climates that ensure the weather will never be the same from one end of the island to the other. This diversity of landscapes creates a real estate market that is uniquely Orcas encompassing beach front, mountaintop views, farmland, forest retreats and glorious sunsets. Centered around Eastsound Village and a series of small hamlets, the residents of Orcas Island are as diverse as the landscape. Stemming from a variety of backgrounds, those who call Orcas home are drawn here by the promise of a quiet, community centered lifestyle. Life here revolves around food, music, art and the outdoors, so there is truly something for everyone.

Lopez Island S THIRD LARGEST OF THE ISLANDS, Lopez has an area of 29 miles with 56 miles of shoreline. Nestled in the San Juan archipelago of 172 islands, Lopez is only 45 minutes by ferry from mainland Anacortes. 2,400 year round residents know Lopez as a place to “get away from it all” where nature is still intact. The climate is mild, with rainfall averaging 25 inches per year. Country roads winding through forest and pastureland offer vistas of quiet bays and driftwood-covered beaches. Fences are for keeping black-tail deer and rabbits out of the garden. Eagles nest in thick forested areas and quail frequently claim the right-of-way over motorists. When you visit, you’ll notice that almost everyone gives you a wave - it’s not a coincidence - it’s a friendly Lopez custom. With no traffic lights and relatively flat terrain, the island’s low profile is a boon to cycling enthusiasts. Lopez offers an inventive, creative atmosphere for artists, photographers, writers and craftsmen. Shops, stores, lodging and restaurants as well as professional services are available in The Village. Plan your visit to our island soon and let us help you “Discover the Friendly Isle - Lopez.”
