A bit of a mystery I can’t seem to solve. Listen to the sound on loud, it’s at the same time as the bird chirps. Any ideas? I’ve heard it at some point daily for the last week or so from the water. It doesn’t sound like an orca, sounds a little too deep for a Dahls. I don’t know what Minkes sound like, maybe that’s it? Would love to know what it is.
Hi everyone! My mom and I will be traveling to SJI in a couple weeks and I wanted to make sure we weren’t making a mistake on our timing. We are traveling via seaplane and we land at SeaTac on a Monday at 11:45 AM, no checked bags. We have a flight from Lake Union at 2:00 PM, aiming for 1:30 PM check in time. Is this feasible? We didn’t actually select this flight, it was part of a package with our hotel and the airline so we assumed they had a good handle on logistics but today we called Kenmore to ask an unrelated question and the guy acted like our timing was not great and we were cutting it too tight. Can anyone help put my mind at ease that we will likely make our seaplane flight (barring any major/unexpected issues)?
Planning on camping on Jones island this week and someone who is coming with us is very worried about this. TIA
I’m staying at Saturns Return - do I need my car to get to and from Friday Harbor or is there Uber or Taxi? I’m don’t want to depend on a shuttle, then stuck on their timeline to eat and get back to the hotel.
I'm a cyclist and have been to the San Juans 6+ times over the last few years for bikepacking. I've generally had pleasant experiences with drivers.
This weekend on SJI is different. I don't know if it was because of the fair, but within 10 minutes of leaving the ferry terminal we had drivers swearing and honking at us. We had a Jeep pass us at 50 mph within 2 ft (I could've reached out and touched their car). I talked to another group or cyclists who reported a similar experience with a Jeep.
We also had tons of people pass without slowing down at all around blind turns. One car that passed us nearly hit a motorcycle coming the opposite way.
Just seemed like people had 0 patience or care. It's very upsetting that people would rather risk the lives of others than wait for 30 seconds until it's safe to pass.
Any recommendations for restaurants where one can obtain a whole Dungeness crab on Orcas (or SJI)? I love Buck Bay Shellfish Farm but it’s closed for the season.
Thank you!
Why the fuck does the republican booth have a security camera 😂😂😂 have they had vandalism in past years? That genuinely made us laugh.
Hi everyone! We are here for the first time today. A local said “happy fair”this morning and we want to do it right! What are the best local foods, fun exhibits or easy tips? Thanks!
Just here for a short visit but would love if someone wants to get wet and wild with me ;)
Can host near Friday Harbor!
Im 5'4, 170 lbs (a little chunky) and honestly quite thirsty. Lmk! 💋
Got a dog that must have drank too much salt water playing fetch and is having a hard time and all the vets are closed. Anyone we can call?
Going camping in a couple days at San Juan County Park. Saw info that the national historical park has a burn ban but can’t find anything clear about the county park. Just need to know if campfires in the fire ring are ok or not. Thanks!
Is the Eastsound village public dock back up this season? I can’t find information online. Thanks!
I'm planning a trip to Friday harbor in November and I saw there was an event called restaurant week but there's not much more information.
I was originally planning to come the first week of November so I could do the art walk but I wanted to know if anyone had any information about the restaurant week, and if it was a fun event and worth coming later in the month.
I'm open to any and all suggestions for fun things to do outside of hiking in November in Friday harbor!
(I'm also planning to stay at the Tucker House unless someone has a better recommendation)
