 | | Islands Washington | | | Welcome to The Islands region of Washington! This is where eagles fly and orca whales and porpoises feed and play. The archipelago was formed by glaciers that covered Washington 15 thousand years ago and is a refuge for some of the world's most rare and regal species, and for humans who seek a respite from their life on land. Galleries, vineyards and fine restaurants coexist with some of the best canoeing and kayaking waters along the Pacific Coast. |
| | | | The Island region includes Whidbey Island, Camano Island, Fidalgo Island and the San Juan Islands. Many islands and islets make up the San Juan Islands, but it's the four main islands, Lopez, Shaw, Orcas and San Juan, that are accessible to visitors. Highways connect Camano Island and Fidalgo Island to the mainland. The Washington State Ferry system serves the San Juans, as well as providing an alternative route to Whidbey and Fidalgo. Fidalgo itself is also a main point of departure to the San Juans and Victoria, British Columbia. |
