FRIDAY HARBOR

AT THE HEART OF THE SAN JUAN ISLANDS

BOOK A FLIGHT

DIRECT SEATTLE TO THE SAN JUAN ISLANDS

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 at the heart of Friday Harbor on a Kenmore Air floatplane, 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, or 50 minutes aboard a Kenmore Air flight from Seattle compared to a long drive and ferry ride. If you take one of our Kenmore Air flights from Boeing Field, you’ll land at Friday Harbor Airport, 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.
