San Juan Islands
Carved out by ancient glaciers, the San Juan Islands — including Lopez, Orcas and San Juan — are an idyllic mix of charming towns, rolling farmland and steep forestland. If your family loves to ride bikes, head to Lopez, the flattest and most bikeable of the main islands. On Orcas, explore the rugged and stunningly beautiful Moran State Park, which features panoramic views from the top of Mount Constitution. Looking for farm tours? Head to San Juan for lavender, alpaca encounters and more.
