72 Hours in the San Juan Islands

Friday June 19, 2009
The summer ferry schedule starts on Sunday, June 21 and when the seasons turn warmer, Pacific Northwest waters glisten and dance, and the inviting sea mist beacons travelers to the San Juan Islands. The ferry-serviced islands in Northern Washington are the biggest draw for locals and visitors: Orcas, San Juan (Friday Harbor), Lopez and Shaw. And each island offers something different. The trick is knowing how to explore the islands cost-effectively with a vehicle. This is your guide to island travel on a transportation budget: 72 Hours in the San Juan Islands.

This is a great idea for an article and very helpful. I don’t think people really understand the ferry costs that can incur by doing this the other way. I strongly suggest people read and understand how to take advantage of what is available to them. A great piece of writing.
