Orcas Island at a Glance
The largest of the San Juan Islands,
Orcas Island offers visitors a variety of accommodations and unique activities.
Lack of densely populated areas gives most lodging on Orcas Island, whether at
a hotel, inn, bed and breakfast or a vacation rental, a feeling of privacy and
tranquility that adds to the allure for travelers. During the summer, every Saturday
features the downtown farmers
market in Eastsound, the commercial center of the island. With an array of
fresh produce, arts, crafts and more, the market is a popular shopping venue for
locals and visitors alike. Also on the island is Moran
State Park, one of the largest parks in Washington,
known for mountain biking, hiking and camping available there. For an historical
perspective on island life, visit the Orcas
Island Historical Museum, the Lambiel
Museum or the Crow
Valley School Museum.
