ISLAND LIVING

The Most Trusted and Productive Real Estate Brokerage in the San Juan Islands — Since 1960

The “San Juan’s” are one of the most beautiful, safest and peaceful places in the world to live. Yes, you have to take a ferry, boat, plane or helicopter to get here, but that is one of the reasons it is so safe, (“crossing the moat”, as my father Sam Buck II, used to say). It’s also one of the reasons we’re not overgrown. We have a year round population of 8,600 on San Juan Island and there’s about 18,000 people who live throughout the county. That more than doubles in the summer time. There are many people who choose to live here that have seen the world, or that could literally choose to live anywhere.

When traveling to the San Juan Islands by any form of transportation you’ll find it to be amazing and breathtaking.

Although people often get a home here due to the beauty and boating, once they’ve lived here they find what draws them most is the sense of community. They say it’s hard to find or just doesn’t exist anywhere else they’ve lived. It is an incredibly supportive and caring community.

Some people wonder, “Well, what would we do here?” Those of us who have experienced it smile and say, “You can be as busy as you want to be”. There are lots of things to do and get involved with. (Check out our General Business Directory on our website to find Things to do and Places to See.) We still have a balanced community. Lots of different people doing lots of different things. They’re friendly, very interesting and engaging too.

Our schools are awesome, both private and public, and highly rated, state and nationwide. Kids can walk to and from school to home, sporting and other events, town and elsewhere safely. It’s fun to see them out and about. Because our schools are smaller, students can be involved in a variety of things.

They learn to get along and get to know each other, often ending up finding they respect each others differences. The vast majority also appreciate living here, or at least end up appreciating having lived here. When reading things students write about, like upon graduation, they often refer to times they spent together at the beach, watching sunsets along the west side, sports, the community theater, or many of the other outdoor areas we are so fortunate to have to choose from.

For those interested in continuing their education or just expanding their minds, enroll at our Skagit Valley Community College campus, which is also affiliated with Washington State University, offering a variety of degrees. We have an awesome public library too!

The San Juan Islands are geographically unique. There are not many places in the world where you can find this mix of islands and waterways, all bathed in frequent sunshine and surrounded by snowcapped mountains in the distance. There is a real reason why they are known as “The Sunny San Juan’s”.

The mountains draw the clouds away. Also unique is that we have small, safe community near not just one, but two major cities and two smaller cities. (Seattle, WA.; Vancouver, BC.; Bellingham, WA.; and Victoria, BC.) For those of you who like to boat or want to boat, these are the most protected and interesting waterways on the west coast of the U.S. There’s endless exploration that starts right here and extends all the way up to Alaska.

We are really lucky to have so many parks too: Federal Parks with thousands of acres and miles of beach; State and County Parks including outer island boating parks!

Each island has its own unique environment and things to offer.

It’s fun to get to know and explore them all. On San Juan Island we have both the Port of Friday Harbor and Roche Harbor Resort, two of the most lovely marinas on the west coast. Friday Harbor, the only incorporated town in the San Juan Islands, is also where the new, gorgeous Peace Health Medical Center/ Hospital is located. (Its entrance is like the lobby of a 5 star hotel). We also have outstanding emergency support services.

Combined, they have the ability to rescue, stabilize, and if necessary, transport to other specialized hospitals.

Orcas, Lopez, Shaw and the outer islands also have beautiful amenities and features of their own to offer. There are so many things to do throughout the islands: Kayaking, sailing, boating, biking, hiking, community theater, movie theater; school and adult sports and activities; beach gatherings; whale watching; walking the docks; shopping, strolling town; historical and whale museums; flying; the 4th of July…and a superb selection of restaurants! We are highly rated in numerous magazines, books, newspapers, travel and best places to live web sites.

Please visit our web site, sanjuanislands.com for much more information, photos, maps and just about anything else you may want to know about the San Juan Islands!

Island History

SECTION HEADER

THE HISTORY OF SAN JUAN ISLAND is a long one, despite what may be described in introductory descriptions of this unique island community. For thousands of years, Native people from Coast Salish communities have lived in the San Juan Islands. Then during the mid19th century, Great Britain and the U.S., both challenged by a limited understanding of this area’s geography, each claimed all the San Juan Islands but did agree upon a compromise international boundary in “the strait.” But there are two straits. This dispute led to what is called the Pig War crisis, when each nation sent troops to the island to defend its territory. An impartial tribunal decided in favor of the U.S. in 1872, which is why San Juan Island is now an American island.

This era is interpreted and commemorated by today’s San Juan Island National Historical Park.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation has named Friday Harbor to its list of a “Dozen Distinctive Destinations,” while noting it’s the only historic seaport town on the west coast which has never been destroyed by fire.

Today, the San Juan Historical Museum has been welcoming islanders and visitors alike to its campus since 1966, on property that had once been the core of the James and Adeline King Farm, Friday Harbor’s last remaining homestead farm. The Museum represents a distinct island culture of resilience and independence, sharing stories from the island’s four major historical industries — farming, fishing, logging, and lime quarrying and processing. In addition, the Museum collection contains nine heritage structures, thousands of photographs and artifacts which represent our collective heritage.

Island farms, fishing operations, and retail commerce developed at a faster pace once San Juan County was established in 1873. Families were often cross-cultural, established by the marriages of Coast Salish women to European-American descent men.

In the 1890s, leisure boat excursions to bucolic, fresh air places became popular and Friday Harbor experienced a flourishing era of town development with new hotels, shops, and restaurants. Fishing and logging were becoming thriving industries, so commercial export out of Friday Harbor made for an active seaport.

In the early 1950s, with soldiers home from World War II and families reunited, national advertising campaigns promoted “See America,” and encouraged domestic leisure travel, including the San Juans as a family vacation destination. The popularity of recreational boating and the building of summer vacation cabins followed in the 1960s.

American Camp

English Camp

American Camp is located on the southern tip of San Juan Island. In the summer of 1859, the “Pig War” was initiated after an American Settler shot a British pig on the Island that both nations claimed. The “Pig War” is referring to the 12 year long peaceful standoff between American and British soldiers and settlers. The American Army and the British Royal Navy jointly lived on San Juan Island in the mid-1800s. American soldiers lived at Camp San Juan Island, today known as American Camp, from July 1859 through November 1874.

English Camp is a National Park with remains of a mid-19thcentury settlement with historic outbuildings and exhibitions, plus a boat dock. No permits are required to park here when visiting. There is a bike rack, bathrooms, and parking for approximately 25 cars. Dogs are allowed to join you if kept on a leash.

A new facility is now complete to greet visitors with state of the art exhibits, books, and guides to island history and wildlife.

At American Camp, you will find some historical points of interest, including a fortress and lookout called the Redoubt, a small artifact museum, and historic buildings.

Continue through American Camp and you will notice several miles of trails that will take you through grassy prairies scattered with rocky outcrops. Walk down to South Beach, the longest public beach in the San Juan Islands. Enjoy the fantastic views from South Beach over the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the Olympic Mountains. Find other trails that will lead you up the 285-foot Mount Finlayson with views of Cattle Point Lighthouse. From Mount Finlayson follow the trail down to Jakle’s Lagoon and Fourth of July Beach. American Camp holds residence of more than 200 species of migratory birds, and is home to a nesting pair of bald eagles, an abundance of red foxes, orcas, and other marine mammals that are frequent visitors to the waters off South Beach.

On June 15, 1859, the “Pig War” was initiated, which led to a peaceful 12-year joint British and United States occupation of San Juan Island while the two nations argued over who owned the San Juans. At the north end of the Island, the Royal Marines lived at the English Camp. Today, a few buildings, a formal garden, and a cemetery remain at the English Camp grounds.

This beautiful day-use park on the shores of Garrison Bay includes a small, seasonal visitors’ center, providing information on the history and wildlife of English Camp.

Explore the trails that range from a fairly strenuous hike up Young Hill to the cemetery and beyond to an easy 45-minute loop through woodland and along the bay. On Saturdays from June through August, park rangers and volunteers recreate some of the skills of military and civilian life during the island’s early pioneer period. For an entire weekend in July, the park hosts a reenactment of life in the mid-19th-century camp.

Recreation Island Style

f you are looking for recreation programs for you or your family, fun community events, or classes for learning a new skill on San Juan Island, look no further than your local park and rec district! San Juan Island Park & Recreation District – known locally as “Island Rec,” has been serving San Juan Island residents since 1984.

Island Rec provides robust recreation programming and maintains several parks, including the community athletic fields and walking trail at John O. Linde Community Park.

Approximately 80% of funding for Island Rec comes from a voter-supported property tax levy, with the remainder of costs covered by participant fees and grants/donations. In a unique and necessary partnership, Island Rec also covers all costs for the high school athletics program to ensure local youth have the opportunity to participate in sports.

PHOTO COURTESY ISLAND REC

In addition to year-round recreation programming for all ages, Island Rec offers a daily after-school program for K-5th grade, the free Music on the Lawn summer concert series, and a myriad of events that have become woven into the fabric of the San Juan Island community. The summer adult soccer league and the Friday Harbor 8.8k Run are local favorites. During the colder months, residents enjoy nightly indoor pickleball, basketball, roller hockey and more. In the summer you will find Island Rec staff running programs all over the island, from sailing lessons to youth day camps.

Visit www.islandrec.org to view and sign up for programs, and for detailed information on all parks.

Island Parks

Island Rec’s dedicated parks team operates and maintains several parks on the island that are free and open to the public daily.

The FAIRGROUNDS FAMILY PARK features a playground and covered shelter area with picnic tables and a large barbecue.

It is located within the San Juan County Fairgrounds and is popular with residents and visitors.

LAFARGE OPEN SPACE is a primitive area that is open dawn to dusk for walking on the graded roadways.

More commonly known as “The Gravel Pit” from its former use, the one-mile walking loop at Lafarge offers scenic views of Griffin Bay and Shipyard Cove, just outside of town.

Adjacent to the Family Park is the ISLAND REC SKATE PARK, which was completed in 1999 with hundreds of hours of volunteer labor and has since provided many island families with the opportunity to learn to skateboard.

Island Rec’s newest park is JOHN O. LINDE COMMUNITY PARK. The park offers first-class athletic fields, a playground, field house, and paved walking/running loop. Linde Park has become the home fields for the island’s youth sports teams and is a gathering place for the community. Completion of the park is the result of a decades-long community dream that has finally been fulfilled through many collaborative efforts.

EDDIE & FRIENDS DOG PARK on Mullis Street is a two-acre park offering a completely fenced off-leash area, with a separate fenced area for small and/ or older dogs. Many residents and their canine companions are daily visitors to the park.

SAN JUAN COUNTY LANDBANK | SAN JUAN ISLAND ACTIVITIES

THE LAND BANK STORY SAN JUAN COUNTY, 1990: Land development and tourism were on the rise, and the County’s population was rapidly growing. Facing the loss of places they loved, a diverse group of locals, (including Sam R Buck Sr., who along with his wife Barbara, started our company in 1960, then known as San Juan Properties, Inc. and now known as Coldwell Banker San Juan Islands, Inc.), sought for a way to save their treasured open spaces and maintain their quality of life. Their collective vision led to the creation of the San Juan County Citizens Conservation Land Bank.

The Conservation Land Bank is charged with preserving exceptional places in the islands, guided by local input. A one-time 1% real estate excise tax, paid by purchasers of property at closing, funds the program. In this way the community, through the Conservation Land Bank, has the ability to purchase and thereby protect the places that make the islands such a special place to visit, raise a family, retire.

This investment in community space has paid off in spades. Since its inception thirty years ago, the Conservation Land Bank has protected close to 7,700 acres. The portfolio includes some of the archipelago’s most celebrated places: Westside Preserve on San Juan, Turtleback Mountain on Orcas and the Fisherman Bay Preserves on Lopez.

When possible, areas with significant wildlife habitat and community value are purchased and turned into preserves. The Land Bank stewards forests and grasslands, tidelands, 12 different beaches and have designated 50 miles of trails. The Land Bank also manages over 60 conservation easements on private lands. These easements safeguard sweeping views of the sea, family farmlands and waterfowl-rich wetlands.

This is a community that prioritizes open space and strives to provide and protect farms, forests, shores and scenic vistas now and for the generations to come. Welcome!

THE SAN JUAN PRESERVATION TRUST

T

he San Juan Preservation Trust is a private, nonprofit, nationally accredited land trust devoted to helping individuals and communities conserve land in the San Juan Islands of Washington State. It was established in 1979 by a group of island citizens. The Preservation Trust is governed by a 15- to 21-member Board of Trustees, who are legally obligated to administer the land for the purpose of preservation. Board members represent each of the four major San Juan Islands (San Juan Island, Orcas Island, Lopez Island, and Shaw Island), as well as other outer islands in the archipelago.

The organization’s 16 staff members are united by a passion and desire to protect the natural legacy of the San Juan Islands for future generations to come. The Preservation Trust offers a volunteer program that encourages active participation in efforts to conserve treasured island sites and landscapes. The organization aims to provide volunteers with an experience that is enjoyable, educational, and worthwhile.

The Preservation Trust collectively works with landowner partners and member/supporters to forever protect and care for more than 300 properties, which include 50 miles of shoreline, 25 miles of trails and 19,000 acres on 21 islands. Most of this land belongs to private landowners and is not open to the public. The map highlights nature preserves that are open for public visitation, with some limitations.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the San Juan Preservation Trust receives no tax revenue and depends exclusively on charitable donations

to preserve the San Juan Islands. As an accredited land trust, the organization is committed to financial transparency and the highest standards of ethical governance. The San Juan Preservation Trust tax ID/ EIN is 91-1078355.

The mission of this Preservation Trust is to conserve, care for, and connect people with the land of the San Juan Islands. To conserve the natural beauty, essential ecosystems, and unique character of the San Juan Islands for future generations, the Trust creates legal agreements, called conservation easements, that permanently limit uses of the land in order to protect its conservation values.

To care for the lands and waters under its protection and with its partners (which include the San Juan County Land Bank), the Preservation Trust’s stewardship staff manage the retained nature preserves, monitor the conservation easements held, and renovate damaged or neglected lands that are protected by the trust. To connect people to nature, to each other, and to the Preservation Trust, they encourage collaboration, education, and outreach to further their core values. Preservation Trust Executive Director Angela Anderson says, “Successful conservation depends on active engagement with people whose lives and livelihoods interconnect with the natural areas that SJPT preserves and protects, for today and for future generations.”
