Welcome to the San Juan Islands! Enjoy a whale watching excursion, take a quiet afternoon bike ride or wander the unique shops — all in the San Juan Islands. The islands’ remarkable natural beauty makes the cares of the world slip away. Everyone can find something that appeals to them with the islands’ wide variety of diversions and educational opportunities. The ferry ride itself is a getaway. The San Juan Islands was named number four in the Society of American Travel Writers’ list of the top 10 most exciting ferry rides in the world. Perhaps most exciting of all, the waters surrounding this spectacular archipelago are home to pods of wild orcas. Welcome to the islands — and welcome to the San Juanderer, a guide designed to help get you started on your island adventures. In the following pages, you will find advice on how to get to the islands, how to get around and what you will find on each of the main islands. There’s advice on what to see and a calendar of what you can do. The attractions of the islands could fill several publications this size, but we have tried to include as much information about the islands’ unique businesses, historic sites and scenic attractions as possible. We have also tried to provide Web addresses and phone numbers where you can learn more about island events. We hope you enjoy San Juanderer and, more importantly, your visit to the San Juan Islands.

Happy “Juandering!”

Fidalgo Island From the tide pools you can explore at Rosario Beach to the vistas at the top of Mount Erie, Fidalgo Island offers a wealth of recreation opportunities. Some of our favorites: a kayak trip at Bowman Bay, a morning walk on the Washington Park loop road, a whale-watching trip to the San Juans and a hike through the Anacortes Community Forest Lands. For a different experience, browse the art galleries in downtown Anacortes, check out the sculptures on Commercial Avenue, stroll past Bill Mitchell’s historic murals, tour the W.T. Preston snagboat and visit the Anacortes Museum. Finish up with a cup of clam chowder, fresh seafood from the docks or fine dining in any number of restaurants and you’ll see why locals say there’s nowhere better to “coast in and hang out.”

Welcome to Fidalgo Island

nacortes used to be known as the Gateway to the San Juans. Not anymore. Sure there’s a state ferry terminal here that can take you to the islands, but this historic city has long been a destination all its own. Water activities are widely accessible whether it be fishing, swimming or boating by kayak, canoe, sailboat or yacht. The town has three marinas, two on the east side and one on the far west in the Skyline neighborhood. Other island activities include hiking, biking, mountain climbing, horseback riding, bird watching, wildlife viewing, whale watching, beachcombing and camping. Anacortes also has the Fidalgo Pool and Fitness Center, the Ben Root Skate Park and the Similk

Beach Golf Course. Parks are abundant with the most popular, Washington Park, on the far west end and Deception Pass State Park straddling the southern part of Fidalgo Island and the northern end of Whidbey Island. Both have facilities for tent campers and RVs. Within the city limits are 2,800 acres of natural forests. The Anacortes Community Forest Lands has 50 miles of multi-use trails. Mount Erie within the Forest Lands and also Cap Sante on the northeast corner of the island offer spectacular views of the surrounding area, which includes the Cascade Mountains, Olympic Peninsula and Canadian mountain range. Festivals and other large events are plentiful in the summer months and include the

Waterfront Festival, Kids-R-Best Fest, Shipwreck Day flea market and Workboat Races, Anacortes Arts Festival, Antique Engine & Machinery Show and Oyster Run motorcycle rally. The downtown area has several boutiques, antique stores and art galleries as well as a variety of restaurants and pubs to fill any appetite and thirst. Fidalgo Island is only reachable by bridge — either by the twin bridges connecting it to the rest of Skagit County to the east or by the Deception Pass Bridge making travel easy to Whidbey Island to the south. The northern part of the island is composed of the city of Anacortes with its 17,000 residents. The average high temperature is in the low-70s in the summer and the mid-40s in the winter.

More than 250 street artists, selected by a jury for diversity and quality, set up booths. About 30 food vendors offer tempting dishes from many cultures and an entire block is reserved for handson children’s activities and performers. Live music rings out from several stages. The Main Stage at Third Street provides a variety of entertainment. The KPLU Stage, inside the Port of Anacortes Transit Shed Event Center, offers soulful sounds in a quieter setting shared with invitational and juried fine art shows and a Youth Art Exhibit.

The largest motorcycle rally in the Pacific Northwest, it draws thousands of tattooed and leather-clad bikers to Anacortes on their gleaming machines. Vendors fill side streets with bike gear, leather goods, jewelry and more, while drill teams perform stunts. Restaurants and food booths always offer plenty of oysters. Perfect weather brought record crowds last year. Even if it rains, plenty of hardy bikers will be around. Cars will probably be stuck until late afternoon — plan for it, then kick back and enjoy the event.

San Juan Island The windswept solitude and quiet beaches of American Camp frame some of the history of San Juan Island, while the bustling shops and many restaurants in Friday Harbor add a modern flavor. Enjoy it all, and make time for visits to Roche Harbor, Lime Kiln State Park, the Whale Museum and the Westcott Bay Reserve and Sculpture Park.

Welcome to San Juan Island

LIGHTHOUSE CAMPGROUND PUBLIC FISHING STATE PARK GOLF COURSE

an Juan Island has it all. With spectacular scenery, wildlife, outdoor adventures, quiet getaways and just enough urban diversions to spice things up, this delightful island offers the total vacation package. Picturesque Friday Harbor, the largest city in the islands, has more than enough shops, galleries, theaters and museums to occupy a visitor. Numerous eateries range from a casual outdoor oyster grill to fine waterfront dining. There’s ethnic cuisine, Northwest fare, seafood and simple soups and sandwiches. If you want a pint with your meal, try the Front Street Ale House brew pub. And there be whales here. Check out displays at the Whale Museum, then charter a tour at 14

Friday Harbor or Roche Harbor to see them in the wild. For kids, there’s Island Rec’s skate and family park, Paradise Lanes and the Palace Theatre. In the evenings, San Juan Community Theatre offers frequent plays and musical events. The San Juan Historical Museum, 405 Price St., includes a pioneer home, a jail and a frontier cabin; call (360) 378-3949.

military camps. Lime Kiln Point State Park, on western San Juan Island, boasts great picnic spots and a well-photographed historic lighthouse. Overlooking the confluence of three major straits, it is the island’s best land base for whale viewing. The lovely village of Roche Harbor and the Westcott Bay Reserve and Sculpture Park are north of Lime Kiln and English Camp. In the heart of the island, look for roadside stands offering colorful blooms, a lavender farm, a golf course and San Juan Island Vineyards. Alpacas placidly graze outside Krystal Acres Alpaca Farm, 152 Blazing Tree Road, where you can buy soft sweaters, coats and plush toys. Call the Chamber of Commerce at (360) 378-5240.

Roche Harbor

Pig War Sites

roche harbor

oche Harbor Resort, on the northwest side of San Juan Island, is a charming retreat with activities and attractive places to stay, including the historic Hotel de Haro, built in 1886 around the original Hudson’s Bay trading post and still furnished with original antiques, the Quarryman Hall Building and the McMillin Suites. A former company town built up around the Roche Harbor Lime Company in the 1890s, it became a resort for boating families in the late 1950s and grew into a tourist village. Visitors can enjoy a relaxing massage or body treatment at the Afterglow Spa, do a little shopping at several unique shops in the village or explore the area’s history with a fold-out map available at the Hotel de Haro’s front desk. Dining is available at three restaurants. Interesting sites include a historic mausoleum, Our Lady of Good Voyage Chapel and the Westcott Bay Reserve Sculpture Park. Visitors can swim, play tennis and hike trails around the old lime quarries. The resort can also be used as a jumping off spot for sea kayaking and whale watching, or for renting one of Susie’s Mopeds for a ride around the island. Throughout the summer watch for street artisans, art festivals and a three-day-long July 4 celebration. For more information contact (800) 451-8910 or www.rocheharbor.com. goskagit.com

pig war sites

war over a pig? In 1859, British and American troops on San Juan Island stood at the brink of war. While the real issue was possession of the San Juan Island Archipelago, the incident is best remembered by history for its only casualty — a wayward English pig. Today it may be hard for visitors to the serenely beautiful San Juan Island National Historical Park to picture three British warships with 70 guns and 2,140 men there facing 461 American troops with 14 field guns and eight naval guns. The Pig War was the last dispute over the Canadian border. While the boundary was set at the 49th parallel, it swerved around Vancouver Island, leading both the United States and England to claim the San Juans, and creating conflict between American settlers and the British Hudson’s Bay Co. An English pig broke the fragile peace on June 15, 1859, trespassing in the potatoes of an American settler and getting shot. A series of escalating overreactions led to the armed standoff. The two armies jointly occupied the island

Skagit Publishing

until 1872, when an arbitrator gave the islands to the United States. Today, the gardens, barracks, guard houses and grassy compounds are patrolled only by park rangers. Visitors can stroll the grounds, enjoying lovely scenery of English Camp and the windswept solitude and quiet beaches of American Camp. Things will be livelier July 31 during the 13th annual Encampment at English Camp. The historical park’s biggest event, it draws more than 80 costumed people who recreate mid-19th century blacksmithing, cooking, butter churning, sewing and other activities. The Encampment concludes with a Candlelight Ball. Many ranger-guided walks, lectures and re-enactments are scheduled each summer at the two camps. A visitors center with artifacts, displays, literature and souvenirs is open year-round at American Camp. English Camp’s visitors center, with a 12-minute DVD history program and an English Camp Then and Now photography exhibit, is open May 29 through Sept. 6. For more information contact (360) 378-2902 or www.nps.gov/ sajh.

Westcott Bay Sculpture Park

stroll on the meandering trails at the 19-acre Westcott Bay Sculpture Park leads to a surprise behind every turn: Figures, animals and abstract shapes in bronze, stone, wood, metal, glass and ceramics nestle alongside wetlands, woods and rocky outcroppings, and installations seem to grow right out of the Douglas fir forest canopy. Kids of all ages run ahead to see a bird or discover the next sculpture, getting sunshine, fresh air, exercise and exposure to fine art all at once. The magical microcosm of island ecology, run by the San Juan Islands Museum of Art & Sculpture Park, is a perfect outdoor museum for 90 large pieces by noted Northwest artists, with about 30 new sculptures to be added this year. The extraordinary location, next to Westcott Bay near Roche Harbor Resort, has helped make the reserve a favorite outing of both visitors and islanders since it opened in 2001. More than 30,000 guests from around the world visit each year. There are no tacky price tags, but the art at the reserve is for sale directly from the artists. A binder listing artists and prices is available at the gatehouse weekends in the summer or at the museum at 28 First St., next to the Whale Museum at Friday Harbor. The park is open every day of the year, dawn to dusk. A requested donation is $5 per person. A map, available at the entrance, shows the trails and lists the names of the artists and their sculptures. Bird watchers can also pick up brochures to help identify nearly 120 species of birds found there. For a fun family experience, the sculpture park has free Family Art Days classes Saturdays in July and August. For more information, call (360) 370-5050 or visit www.sjima.org. 16

Welcome to Lopez Island

opez is said to be the friendliest of the islands with the inhabitants regularly waving at passers-by. Many residents make their living from farming, fishing and raising livestock. It is the first island you come to when arriving in the San Juans by Washington State Ferries. It is one of the smaller main islands at less than 30 square miles with about 2,200 full-time residents. Its distinction comes from being one of the flattest islands, making it ideal for bicyclists all year and the Tour de Lopez bike tour held there each April. The island is also great for kayaking, boating, whale watching, eagle spotting, hiking, fish-

Bicyclists looking for a tranquil outing will enjoy Shaw Island’s wooded roads, especially the figure eight-shaped loop that covers most of the island. Shaw Island County Park has a sandy, inviting beach and a day-use area for picnickers on Indian Cove Road off Squaw Bay Road. The smallest of the islands served by ferry, Shaw has only 200 residents — a fair number of them nuns — who like the quiet life.

Deception Pass State Park

ugged cliffs, churning waters, old-growth forest, miles of freshwater and saltwater shoreline and an exceptionally scenic bridge are among the reasons Deception Pass State Park is the most visited in the state park system. The bridge is easily accessible on Highway 20 about 15 miles south of Anacortes, and many visitors stop only long enough to snap photos of the breathtaking views from overlooks at both ends of the bridge or on Pass Island in the middle. Luckier visitors stay to camp, picnic, kayak, hike, swim, view tide pools, dive, fish and relax. There are about 40 miles of trails, interpretive activities and scenic rock work dating back to the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s.

A statue and interpretive center at Bowman Bay honor the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history and the CCC. The Maiden of Deception Pass story pole on Rosario Beach depicts a story of the Samish Indian Nation, a tribe that has called the area home for thousands of years.

Welcome to La Conner

La Conner

History calls in La Conner, from the working waterfront to the works of famous Northwest artists. Museums are must-sees in this waterfront town. The Museum of Northwest Art is right in the middle of things on First Street, and the Skagit County Museum and the La Conner Quilt & Textile Museum are on the hill above town. This is a town to stroll. Pick up a guide at the Chamber of Commerce and explore the outdoor sculpture exhibition. Order coffee and watch the boats cruise by on Swinomish Channel.

a Conner offers the slower pace of a gentler time. Spend a few hours, or a few days, visiting the vibrant, historic waterfront village on the way to or from the San Juan Islands. It is home to the Museum of Northwest Art, as well as numerous art galleries and fine shops. Founded in the 1880s, La Conner is nestled in cedar and fir forests. Just across Swinomish Channel from Fidalgo Island and the Swinomish Indian Reservation, it is about a 20-minute drive from downtown Anacortes. The iconic Rainbow Bridge that connects the town with the reservation was built in 1957. It was painted with orange rust coating, but the residents liked the color so much that it was never given the formal gray coat. The channel is the result of 32

a dredging and diking project that made a navigable waterway through what was once called Swinomish Slough, a shallow collection of tidal sloughs, salt marshes and mud flats. The 11mile channel, completed in 1937, created La Conner’s working waterfront. Since the 1930s and 1940s, Northwest artists have drawn inspiration from La Conner and its spectacular surroundings — the lovely tulip fields and rural scenery of Skagit Valley, and nearby forests and communities. The most famous of these artists, Guy Anderson, Kenneth Callahan, Morris Graves and Mark Tobey, created a fresh style and a regional identity known as the Northwest School. When the Museum of Northwest Art was established in 1981,

| 2010 San juanderer | April 21, 2010

La Conner was deemed a natural site because of its association with these master painters. The museum has a fine representative collection of their works and by other regional artists in a variety of media, including a display of fine glass. It exhibits established Northwest artists and promising new talent, and offers workshops, tours, lectures and educational activities. Outside the museum, carvings and metal art pop up unexpectedly, part of a rotating outdoor sculpture exhibition in the city’s public spaces. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, La Conner is also home of the Skagit County Museum and the La Conner Quilt & Textile Museum, which is located in a restored Victorian mansion.
