Orcas Island sits in the center of the San Juan Islands, in the Northwest corner of Washington State. Tucked in the middle of Puget Sound, between Juan de Fuca Strait and Georgia Strait, Orcas Island is about a 3 hour drive and ferry trip from the cities of Seattle WA, Vancouver B.C. and Victoria B.C. Orcas is one of the four San Juan Islands served by the Washington State Ferry System. Terminals are located in Anacortes on the mainland, and Sydney, just outside Victoria, B.C. on Vancouver Island. Orcas is also easily accessible by boat and plane, both private and commercial.
