Hello San Juan Island

Posted January 21, 2022 at 3:58 pm by

We are Jeff and Kristen Arnim, the new caretakers of the San Juan Update. We’ve always enjoyed the stories and photos published by the Update, and we look forward to continuing to bring them to you as this publication enters its 25th year. Just like Tim and Ian, we’ll focus on the things that make living here great.

Jeff has been a web developer and writer for the past 15 years. Kristen works to support the local agricultural community and was previously a librarian. We first moved to Friday Harbor in 2017, and our daughter Juniper arrived the following year. T-Boy joined our family this past September, thanks to the hard-working staff of the Animal Protection Society of Friday Harbor.

Jeff’s favorite place on the island is Fourth of July Beach, Kristen votes for South Beach, and Juniper says Eagle Cove. T-Boy could not be reached for comment, but was last seen intently sniffing the giant rock at the entrance to the Gravel Pit.

You can support the San Juan Update by doing business with our loyal advertisers, and by making a one-time contribution or a recurring donation.
