We’re getting married at Roche Harbor on San Juan Island. The island is part of the San Juan Islands archipelago in Washington State and can be accessed by water or by air — or some combination. Roche Harbor is on the northwest corner of the island — about a 15 minute drive from Friday Harbor, the main town on the island. We highly recommend carpooling with family and/or friends!

We recommend flying into Seattle–Tacoma International Airport! From there you can rent a car or take Uber or Lyft to the direct ferry from downtown Seattle.

If you’re coming from the Seattle area, or renting a car at Sea-Tac airport, drive north on Interstate 5 through Seattle to the Burlington exit (230). Then drive west to Anacortes. From Sea-Tac this drive takes about 1.75 hours if traffic is good. (Sadly, it rarely is) Follow the signs to the Anacortes Ferry Terminal (all the way through town).

Take the ferry that goes to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island. The Fall 2022 schedule can be downloaded here: .

Washington State Ferries has a reservation system for the San Juan Islands. Making a reservation is highly recommended if you are driving, .

You can also park at the terminal and walk onto the ferry. There is a trolley to the resort as well as taxis available.

Word of caution: try to get to the ferry terminal before for your departure time. Riders are advised to arrive 30 – 60 minutes early. Washington State Ferries collect charges when you’re traveling Westbound for the vehicle and passengers. You don’t pay when returning to the mainland. Current fares are $70.90/vehicle and $14.50/per passenger (seniors and youths half price).
Be sure to take the ferry schedule into account when planning your flight reservations! The ferry ride takes an hour to two hours depending on which route you catch. The ferry takes you across Rosario Straight, through Thatcher Pass, and across San Juan Channel. It is a world class ride!

Ball out. You can fly directly to the island via Kenmore Air. They offer a couple of different options. The first is to fly via seaplane from Seattle’s Lake Union directly to Roche Harbor. Kenmore Air has a shuttle bus that will take you from the airport to Lake Union. It is an extra $20.00 plus tax.

There is a 25 pound baggage limit because of the float plane. Kenmore Air also flies from Boeing Field in Seattle to Friday Harbor airport on San Juan Island. They have a shuttle that will take you from Sea-Tac to Boeing field about 15 minutes away. For these planes there is a 50 pound baggage limit.

We highly recommend all guests stay at the Resort! There are many different accommodation options at different price points. We recommend that our guests try and find accommodations together. There are houses, condos, and cabins available!
