County seat: Friday Harbor
San Juan County real estate guide
San Juan County has no bridge to the mainland. Washington State Ferries serve Friday Harbor, Orcas, Lopez and Shaw from Anacortes. Each island has its own housing supply, services and building logistics. Plan your ferry access, water source, septic and contractor availability before you make an offer.
