San Juan Island is the second-largest and most populous island in the archipelago between the Puget Sound coast of Washington and Vancouver Island in British Columbia. You can read more about it here:

I knew little of the Pacific Northwest and nothing about the San Juan Islands before I arrived in Seattle for my internship at Blue Origin a few years ago. For an area that doesn't get much press in the rest of the country, the waterways of Puget Sound and the Salish Sea are shockingly beautiful. In the summer, when days are long, blue, and gently warm, it's a place at once accessibly close to Seattle and alluringly exotic. Since there are no bridges to the archipelago, a seaplane or ferry are the only options for reaching Friday Harbor and the lavender fields of San Juan, and either trip alone is worth the cost of admission. If you want to see the natural wonder that America has to offer, the northwest corner of the country will not disappoint.
