Orcas Islands, WA

Orcas Island is the largest of the San Juan Islands, located in the northwest corner of Washington State. It’s often described as the “gem of the San Juans” for its lush forests, rolling hills, and stunning views of the Puget Sound.
The island combines small-town charm with a vibrant tourism scene — especially during the summer months, when visitors come from all over the U.S. and abroad.
Life on the island is peaceful, surrounded by nature, but there’s always something going on in the summer — farmers markets, local art fairs, and music festivals.
