Orcas Island is sometimes called "The Magic Isle" because of the quality of its beauty and vibration - and what happens when you live here.

We are the largest island in the San Juan Island archipelago in Washington State and located in the heart of the Salish Inland Sea between Canada and the USA in the Pacific Northwest.

Here are some brief details of its Geography from Wikipedia:

With a land area of 57.3 square miles (148.4 km²) and a population of 4,453 (2000 census), Orcas Island is slightly larger, but less populous, than neighboring San Juan Island. Orcas is shaped like a pair of saddlebags, separated by fjord-like East Sound, with Massacre Bay on the south side, and tiny Skull Island just off the coast. At the northern end of East Sound is the village of Eastsound, the largest town on Orcas and the second largest in San Juan County. In 1989 the Lummi Nation regained a village and burial site on Orcas Island's Madrona Point near Eastsound, and now operates it as Madrona Point Park, a public-access preserve characterized by hundreds of twisting madrona trees sprouting from the rocky shoreline, with an easy hiking trail around the point.

Other, smaller towns - or hamlets - on the island include Orcas (where the inter-island/mainland ferry lands), West Sound (technically part of Eastsound), Deer Harbor, Rosario (technically part of Eastsound), Olga and Doe Bay.
