Orcas Island Historical Museum

The largest of the San Juan islands is also one of the prettiest, with rocky terrain for hiking and dramatic shorelines for kayaking and whale watching.

Reviewed By 606kathryna - Dupont, United States

This museum has lots of information of the early settlers and life on Orcas island. They have moved several small original settlers' cabins to the site and have plenty of artifacts. It was larger than I thought it would be. I spent about 45 minutes browsing the exhibits. I really enjoyed the museum and would bring more family to see it. Admission was free but you could give a suggested donation.

Jetty Island

Wiggle your toes in the warm sand, play in the water and explore the nature trails of Everett's two-mile scenic gem. From July into September, the City of Everett runs a free ferry to this sandy beach. Jetty Island Days is a cooperative program between the Port of Everett and Everett Parks & Community Services.

This is a beautiful place to go for a day. You can catch crabs, feed the birds, and enjoy the ocean.

Vashon Island

Reviewed By meregnorth - Charleston, United States

Cute little town, scenic place to drive around. Passed some time on a rainy day in Tacoma. I was impressed by how quick and easy it was to ride the ferry from Point Defiance; probably 10 minutes max.
