Historic Friday Harbor
in the San Juan Islands of Washington

Friday Harbor is located on beautiful San Juan Island, located in an archipelago of islands in the Salish Sea between Seattle, Washington, and Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia.

The Town is one square mile of walkable seaside activities, recreation, and culture; a picturesque street-scape of turn of the century wood frame buildings and popular harbor.

Here there are no stop lights, billboards or look-alike chain stores. Instead, we offer authentic small-town atmosphere rich with history, a landscape of pastoral countryside and marine views – Washington State’s newest scenic byway.

Whether by ferry or boat through the Salish Sea, or by plane over blue water and emerald islands – getting here is part of the experience.
