A little Island Friendly Spirit…

The Orcas, Lopez and San Juan Island Chambers of Commerce along with the San Juan Islands Visitors Bureau, San Juan County Economic Development Council, Northwest Workforce Development Council and Scenic Byways have jointly developed and embraced a concept called the “Island Friendly Spirit”. 

We do love to see Mt. Baker across the water…

Let’s dig a little deeper…

It all started with an online survey last year with over 160 responses from organizations and residents around the county asking what would be the most important attributes the San Juan Islands could improve upon to make this a better place for our businesses, residents and visitors. The clear answers were to communicate Island values, inspire island businesses and organizations, and ultimately strengthen our Island’s reputation for providing outstanding customer experiences for each other and visitors in our archipelago called the San Juan Islands!  The key themes are:  1)We put people first , 2) We keep our word, 3) We exceed expectations, 4) We are Island stewards, 5) We are Island ambassadors.
