⚽️ Visit Seattle for some soccer fun, then head to the spectacular San Juan Islands!

With Seattle hosting 6 matches in June & July, it’s a great time to plan a pre or post trip to the islands. Set your mind to “island time” for whale watching, kayaking, hiking, biking, great food & drink, as well as plenty of history, arts, & island culture.

Happy Earth Day! 🌎🌱Celebrating our beautiful planet today and every day.

Here are just a few ways to help preserve the qualities that make the Islands special:

💧Conserve water when you can by taking shorter showers and not letting the tap run. (With lower rainfall from May to October, the Islands’ water supply is not recharged during the summer.)

🥾Tread lightly - Stay on established trails, campsites, and parking spots. Erosion happens quickly and can affect the local ecosystem.

♻️Reduce, Refuse, Reuse, & Recycle - Bringing a reusable water bottle or coffee mug is a simple way to limit use of plastics.

👉Show your love of the Islands by signing the San Juan Islands Pledge (link in bio.)
