Orcas Island, San Juan Islands
Salish Sea, Washington State
Ms. K. and I were treated to a couple of days in January at Deer Harbor Resort on Orcas Island by my brother who belongs to a timeshare condo group. It wasn’t as though it was an exotic vacation as it was less than 25 miles from home as the crow flies. However, after an hour’s drive south along the coast and another hour’s ferry ride through scenic islands, we could have been a thousand miles away. And we really lucked out on the weather for mid January - mostly sunny, temps in the 40s with just a bit of rain at night.
