The ULTIMATE Travel Guide to the San Juan Islands WA 

You're totally right - slip of the tongue. The funny thing is, I live in Anacortes. Cheers.

@@traveleaz Glad I'm not the only one who messes up. I live in Portland area, and love going to the Islands. Absolutely beautiful area.

It is! Love the Oregon coast - nearish to you.

Actually, Fidalgo Island is NOT part of the San Juan Archipelago, so not one of the San Juan Islands. All the San Juan Islands are encompassed in San Juan County as per the USGS. Fidalgo Island is Skagit County. Btw, I am a proud resident of San Juan Island.

@@carmenw.9617 Good to know. But it remains true, that Anacortes isn't on the mainland, but on Fidalgo Island. I'm not going to do the research, but I suspect those islands were formed from the same geologic processes, no matter our arbitrary naming/labels. Including Canada's 'Gulf Islands'.

Very special area...thanks for the comment.

Thank you for your comment!

Lots of truth in that statement!

Thank you. This area is so beautiful.

@@traveleaz You're welcome.

Thank you!!

Thank you very much.
