Welcome back to Friday Harbor!
Come to Friday Harbor to find the perfect escape from the city. Friday Harbor is located on San Juan Island in the northwestern part of the Puget Sound in Washington’s Pacific Northwest and an easy drive from Seattle or Vancouver B.C. Ride the ferry from the mainland as part of Washington’s Scenic Byway to Friday Harbor. As soon as the ferry comes into port, you will know that you are someplace special.
Friday Harbor overlooks a marina, Brown Island and boasts a spectacular view of snowcapped Mount Baker and the Cascade Mountains. Downtown Friday Harbor offers a variety of great restaurants and bars for every price range, art galleries, museums, shopping, accommodations, and island activities such as kayaking, whale watching, bicycling or riding mopeds. Come for specific events such as The Farmers Market, Fourth of July, The San Juan County Fair or any major holidays. Make Friday Harbor you next getaway!
