Washington's
San Juan Islands are located a short plane flight
north of Seattle at the Southeast tip of Vancouver Island. Washington's
Olympic mountains loom to the southwest and create a micro-climate
for the San Juansa "rain shadow" which can result
in sunny skies over the islands where southern Puget Sound can be
overcast. Cruising in the San Juans gives a feeling of comfortable
refinement.
Because
of their proximity to Seattle, the San Juans can be a timely retreat
from the busy life. Fly into the Carmelita
on a float plane from Seattle's Lake
Washington, settle in and relax to sounds of the sea.
