Owning Property on Orcas Island grants you ownership on a truly amazing island. Whether you buy a primary or vacation home or land to build on in the future, your investment can be tailored to fit your current or future needs. Some vacation homes can be entered into a vacation rental pool to supplement income during your non-use time and loans are available for land only purchases. Property taxes are relatively low and historical real property appreciation has favored property owners. Like the saying goes… ”They're not making any more of this stuff!”
Transportation to the island via automobile begins in at the Washington State Ferry Terminal in Anacortes, Washington, where year-round ferry service to the San Juan Island’s begins. Orcas Island is the third island stop, usually about 1 hour and 20 minutes from Anacortes. Connecting air service to Orcas Island comes from SEA-TAC, Lake Washington or Lake Union via San Juan Air or Kenmore Air. Bus service from SEA-TAC to the Washington State Ferry Terminal in Anacortes is available from the Airporter.
