Staff report

On July 2, Expedia.com staff listed the San Juans as one of the most scenic West Coast destinations out of 11 locations.

The post reads “Cozy harbors, rolling fields, tree-dense parks and grand mountain views lend their notes to the symphony that is the San Juan Islands. At Pelindaba Lavender, the scents are as appealing as the sights, where purple flowers paint the landscape. Cycle the scenic byway, go whale watching, or take a sunset kayak tour — it’s all incredible here.”
