Islanders founded Friends of the San Juans in 1979 to protect the islands’ beauty, character, and wildness. Our early victories—like helping the County adopt its first Comprehensive Plan and stopping large-scale development near Lime Kiln State Park—set the course for decades of community-driven protection across the islands and Salish Sea.

Whether you live in the San Juan Islands, visit often, or help care for the Salish Sea from afar, your actions make a difference. Together, we can protect what makes this place extraordinary—shorelines, wildlife, and community.
