Seattle to San Juan – it’s easy! Fly or Drive & FerryFriday Harbor on San Juan Island is located 90 miles north of Seattle, in the beautiful Salish Sea.
Friday Harbor is easily accessible by foot and has many great local shops, restaurants, and hotels.
Fly from Seattle: For an easy and hassle free day tour, fly directly from Lake Union in downtown Seattle to the docks of San Juan Island! The Whale Plane Package includes roundtrip air with Kenmore Air from Seattle to San Juan and our Whale Watch and Wildlife Tour.
Fly from Anacortes: If you miss your ferry, you can also fly from Anacortes with San Juan Airlines
Drive the scenic by-way from Seattle to Anacortes and hop aboard the Washington State Ferry that is considered one of the most beautiful ferry rides in the country. Enjoy comfortable seating or walk around the viewing decks and take in views of the surrounding islands while traveling to San Juan Island. Look for seals, eagles, porpoise, and even orca whales as you travel between along the calm channels of the Salish Sea. Outside and inside seating, tables, and a galley make travel on the ferry easy and fun. The ferry lands right in the heart of Friday Harbor, just steps from our office location.
