Orcas Village is on the southern tip of Orcas Island in the San Juan Islands of Washington State. The village is built around the island's only Washington State Ferries dock, making it the primary entrance to the largest of the San Juan Islands, as well as a pleasant place to wait for the outgoing ferry.

Friday Harbor is the main city on San Juan Island, the most populous of the San Juan Islands. It is also the county seat of San Juan County. Friday Harbor is quite commercially developed, considering its remoteness, and offers more of a laid-back, country club vibe than one of a fishing community.
