What to do and see in San Juan Island, Washington (WA): The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day

April 19, 2022 Alida England

An island vacation on San Juan Island in…Washington? San Juan might not be a tropical retreat, but this scenic scape proudly features beaches, orca pods and one of the country’s largest lavender farms. Lime Kiln Point State Park is the perfect place for whale watching, while Pelindaba Lavender Farm will set you up with a lifetime supply of the fragrant purple plant. The bustling Friday Harbor is a jackpot of restaurants and shops, plus unique attractions like the 19-acre sculpture garden at Westcott Bay Reserve.

My husband gave me the gift of a 90-minute massage from Afterglow. They treated me like royalty. I was greeted by Adam one of the massage therapists. He was fantastic. If I could see this guy every week I would. He worked my tired muscles with lavender oil and a firm but gentle therapeutic touch. I sat in the steam room for longer than I should have but, I couldn't help it...it felt so good. Please tell Adam he did a great job.

San Juan Community Theatre

Reviewed By Adrian22

San Juan Community Theatre is a superlative venue for concerts, plays and more. Offering great views and acoustics from everywhere in the house, it's as intimate as it is professional. Enjoyed an amazing time, sold-out show, with the singular folk-rock legend Al Stewart (creator of "Roads to Moscow" and countless other brilliant songs) - and his band, The Empty Pockets. Very fortunate to be in such a room for such an experience. A credit to staff, volunteers and community.

Pacific Catalyst

Unique small ship cruises in the sheltered inside passage of SE Alaska, British Columbia, and the San Juan Islands of Washington as well as the Sea of Cortez, Baja California aboard the historic wooden vessels M/V Catalyst & M/V Westward. A larger cruise ship alternative...a smaller, more intimate, cruising experience.
