County Information Located in the Salish Sea in the far northwestern corner of the U.S. state of Washington, San Juan County is a cluster of approximately 200 islands (172 of which are named). It has rugged, rocky shoreline and several mountains. Most of the county's population lives on the largest four islands of Orcas, San Juan, Lopez and Shaw Islands. Those four counties are the only islands served by the Washington State Ferries. It was part of Whatcom County until October 31, 1873. The county seat and the county's only incorporated city is Friday Harbor, on San Juan Island.
