North and west of Whidbey Island, midway between Seattle and Vancouver, the beautiful San Juan Islands are scattered across the northern reaches of Puget Sound. Every summer brings more visitors than the islands can easily accommodate, especially on the largest ones, San Juan and Orcas, so you'll need to book in advance.
