FRIDAY HARBOR

At the heart of the San Juan Islands

FLIGHTS FROM SEATTLE TO FRIDAY HARBOR

The largest town in the San Juan Islands, Friday Harbor is also the economic, social, and cultural hub, home to more than 2,000 residents and 90 orca whales from April to September. Arrive via Kenmore Air seaplane on a direct flight to Friday Harbor, docking at the marina where you’ll walk off the pier and into a lovely downtown filled with uniquely local shops, museums, and restaurants whose menus are laced with island-sourced ingredients.

It’s 90 miles from Seattle to Friday Harbor and just 45 minutes aboard a Kenmore Air seaplane flight from Seattle compared to a long drive and ferry ride. If you travel into Sea-Tac airport, you can take our Sea-Tac shuttle service to connect with a Kenmore Air Express flight from Boeing Field. From there you’ll fly direct to Friday Harbor Airport in just 35 minutes and located less than a mile from downtown. You’ll enjoy every minute of your visit, whether it’s getting out on the water in a boat or kayak, taking a whale watching tour, enjoying a leisurely hike or visit to a lighthouse, or even visiting the nearby alpaca farm.

FLOATPLANE

You can fly to Friday Harbor Marina from either Kenmore Air Harbor or Lake Union, arriving at the pier aboard one of Kenmore Air’s six-seat de Havilland Beavers or 10-seat Otters. If you’re seeking something more intimate, the Cessna 180 is a two to three passenger floatplane, a most economical charter option. Sorry, no complimentary baggage storage on-site.

LANDPLANE

Kenmore Air Express provides year-round service from Boeing Field with its fleet of Cessna 208 Caravans and Grand Caravans, which accommodate eight to nine passengers. The Pilatus PC-12 turboprop is the newest option in the charter fleet, offering eight seats in a roomy cabin for a quiet and cutting-edge flying experience. Paid parking is available, complimentary on-site bag storage available.

ACCOMMODATIONS

The largest town in the San Juans offers the most lodging choices on the San Juans, everything from the historic exterior and modern interior of the Birdrock Hotel to the view at the Friday Harbor House not to mention plenty of quaint B&Bs like the Juniper Lane guest house and Hillside House. The San Juan Islands visitors bureau offers a great overview of Friday Harbor lodging options.
