Orcas Island, Washington Located in the Pacific Northwest San Juan Islands, northwest of Seattle, Washington, and east of Victoria, Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
The history of the San Juan Islands is a rich and colorful tapestry woven from the lives of Native American tribes, Spanish and British explorers, gold miners, smugglers, pioneers, loggers, fishers, and farmers. Pioneer farms at the turn of the century made Orcas Island famous as the "Fruit Bowl of the Northwest". Forests were clear-cut to fire lime kilns that shipped lime to far reaches of the Pacific Ocean. A close-knit community spirit, which kept all islanders fed during the depression, cares for those in need today. With the advent of steamboats, Orcas became a popular destination for vacationers, especially from the Seattle area. Still a popular tourist destination, Orcas can now be reached by ferry or airplane. Mt. Constitution's spectacular panoramic view of the Salish Inland Sea, its wonderful Moran State Park with hiking trails and lakes, and fabulous opportunities for boating and sailing, make Orcas a wonderful place to visit and even to live. Attitudes about the natural resources of the island have been significantly changing over the last several decades. The San Juan Preservation Trust and the Land Bank are popular conservation management and education programs that are helping to care for the scenic beauty and wildlife of the San Juan Islands. New landowners can learn how to carefully situate their home and best preserve the beauty of the natural shorelines and open space views. As the population grows on our island, the importance of living in harmony with nature is becoming more evident.
