Islands' Sounder
Eastsound is the Island’s commercial center complete with restaurants, shops, galleries and historical museums. The Island’s affluent homeowners enjoy frequent Orca whale sightings, sailing, kayaking and mountain biking — with frequent shopping trips to the mainland. Local Bed and Breakfasts are busy year-round for those seeking a peaceful escape from the city or romantic getaways.
Despite proximity to Bellingham and Seattle, the daily newspapers don’t cover the San Juan Islands. Instead, nearly 100% of households depend on our publications.
The beautiful rural setting makes the San Juans a popular location for vacations and the most expensive real estate market in the state. The Islands are accessible by Washington State Ferry or airplane, and some can only be reached by private boat.
