The San Juan Islands (visit www.sanjuanisland.com) offer some of the world's most pleasant weather. The lee of the Olympic mountains and the mountains of Vancouver Island protect the region from much of the clouds and moisture of the Pacific Ocean giving us less than half the rainfall as the city of Seattle.
