- Beachfront: We have a rocky shoreline of approximately 600 feet for good exploration, this connects to a much larger sandy beach which we have access to because we own vacant property next to this summer home. It is excellent for scuba diving and wetsuit snorkeling and crabs and scallops are abundant and at night bring a flashlight and a dip net (provided) and catch small shrimp right off the rocks. There is also a crab pot but it easier to just jump in and get them. There is also lots of edible seaweed all year round, sea lettuce, sugar wrack and pelvetiopsis which is great for stir-fry, starts out gold and ends up bright green in the wok.
- Oceanfront: It is part of the great meander where the Pacific Ocean meets the Puget Sound. The San Juan Islands are the gateway. This property is located on a 3 mile wide channel just off the ocean which separates San Juan, Orcas and Shaw Islands. It is often skiable in the morning. In addition, this is the leeward side of the island and the most pleasant all year round. There is a fire pit where s'mores and hot dogs are mandatory or maybe just a good glass of wine to be taken in the wooden swinging loveseat.
- Mountain View: View of Mt. Baker which often is stunningly clear and turns pink at both sunset and sunrise on a clear day.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1997
Charles and Kristy Herrick live in Issaquah, Washington just east of Seattle in the foothills. Charles does relief work in Africa and India as well as executive work in the IT industry. He is an author and his book Breath of Kenya is available to our guests as a way of saying thank you. Kristy is an avid gardener. She raises llamas, two chickens (Avis and Mavis) and a bulldog named Bullard. She weaves, spins and knits. Bullard does nothing.
Why the Owner Chose Friday Harbor
Wonderful seclusion just an hour's ferry ride from Anacortes which is only an hour from our home. San Juan is quaint and a bit yesteryear. Friday Harbor is a small town with just about everything you need except for franchise stores. San Juan gets about a third of the rainy days of Seattle. The main road is only a mile away and it's a calm rural road which is great for running or bike riding.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Seclusion. Fishing, crabbing, and tide pool viewing.
