Friday Harbor, San Juan Island in November

This is the side of our office which faces directly into the harbor.
You can see we are literally 3 feet from the water.


In the distance is the 'main' dock
The Shell (fuel station) is the orange just above the fuel shed
Here you are looking out of our main office window
into San Juan Chanel.
This is the Washington State ferry route which lands
just to the right (see next photo)
The beige building with the green roof is
Spring Street Landing.
It houses restrooms and a wonderful Salt Water Aquarium.
That Aquarium was instaled by and is maintained by Capt. Mike Kahil.
(He used to be on staff, but is now retired)
The top of the Sea Lion is visable in the center.
The ferry landing is far right.
Here is the Friday Harbor Ferry Landing.
The long beige building is called The Cannery
(that is where the cannery was once located)
The red building is a fine restaurant below and another
whale watching operator above.
This parking lot is reserved parking for owners and
one spot for handy caped parking.

You can see gazabos. There are numerous benches for people
to sit and watch ferries and boats.
Oh, and there is also an ice cream store in the
lower level of the red building.
In the gray building which is part of San Juan Safaris office building,
is a dive shop, a whale watching operator and a marine store
that rents small boats and kayaks. Above is a good restaurant.
You know you have arrive in the right place when
you come to this on the front door.
