San Juan Island is a popular destination enticing to both travelers and prospective home buyers because of its well known beauty, interesting diversity, lovely homes and accessible location. On this lush, natural haven, the lifestyle consists of a relaxed environment and the people are friendly. San Juan Island is located in Puget Sound along the northwest coast of Washington. It is also part of a clustering of islands. San Juan Island is the busiest of the group and home to the town of Friday Harbor, which is also the seat of the county government. The one square mile of land area that makes up Friday Harbor is home to about 2,000 residents. It is the county’s only incorporated community and the heart of business activity on the island. The island is also accessible from the mainland by ferry or small plane. Friday Harbor is home to a Washington State Ferry dock and the Friday Harbor Airport, one of the busiest airfields in the state. The county government is Friday Harbor’s largest employer, but additional employment opportunities are available in construction, retail and trade and arts and entertainment. Recreational activities abound on and around the island. Residents and visitors predominantly enjoy staying active outdoors and taking advantage of the many unique, natural features of the islands. Popular activities include bicycling, boating, fishing, golfing, kayaking, whale watching and water sports. Shopping and cultural entertainment are available on the island, particularly hosted in Friday Harbor. San Juan Island and Friday Harbor real estate options consist of detached, single-family homes for sale, a small selection of beautiful condominiums and townhouses and various sizes of land lots.
