Here are some pictures I took whilst being in the Suan Juan islands last week. I went with my family and our friends who were visiting for the weekend and absolutely loved it. There are about 172 islands and reefs in San Juan County, and most are full of forests, wildlife and hidden treasures which you wouldn’t expect from the mainland and fast paced city life of Seattle. We went to Friday Harbor and Roche Harbor, which were some of the most picturesque places I’ve ever visited, and went on a whale watching tour and unexpectedly saw a humpback whale come past our boat. It was an amazing experience to learn about the marine wild life around the Pacific North West, and how passionate people are in researching and ensuring the safety of these creatures, particularly the Orcas. I also loved seeing the islands that surrounded San Juan and being able to go up into Canadian waters!
