This is a bit outdated, but we visited Orcas both right before AND right after 4th of July thanks to a little vacancy irregularity during the prime days of summer. We kept ourselves busy with all sorts of activities!

| Recently a bear swam from the mainland to Orcas and was captured a few days prior to our arrival on Orcas. Evie and I made fake bear prints to keep the myth alive that the bear was still loose! |
