We spent a week on Orcas several years ago. Brought our boat & fished. Was really surprised by how dynamic the tidal currents are between islands. A lot of water moves into & out of Puget sound twice a day.

Which island(s) did you visit?

Started off on Fidalgo, where I caught the Ferry out of Anacortes. From there I went to San Juan then Orcas followed by Shaw and then on to Lopez. Of all the Islands I loved Lopez the best.

Lopez is our favorite as well. Friendly and interesting. We also enjoy the Gulf Islands just over the border. Mayne and Galiano are our favorites there.

Yes, we liked Lopez Island as well. Stayed right on the beach at Odlin County Park. And there is even a little brewery on Lopez Island. Barely brews more than some home brewers, but he does a good job.
San Juan county Park on San Juan Island was fun too. We could watch whales and all the ships going by.

Odlin County Park was very nice and empty

Thanks Orcas Island was the very first campground we ever stayed at,that was back in late 70s.
Had a great time there.Since then we have stayed on Friday Harbor at some kind of city/county park (tented it),
on a return trip in 09 from Alaska. Just before we bought the Bobcat.
The islands are nice but very crowded during the summer.
Post more pictures.

We stayed at Lopez Island for 3 days and did a day trip to Friday Harbor. Highlight of the trip was watching a transient Orca pod feasting on a sea lion. Our group was first on the scene and we had the show to ourselves. The transient group was unknown and a research vessel arrived to photograph their dorsal fins and record their vocalizations. It was a real tight squeeze driving onto the ferry - I couldn't imagine taking my current rig there now.
