Jewel of the San Juans
Third largest of the San Juan Islands, Lopez Island is about 29 square miles in area with a year round population of 2,000.

Each of the San Juan Islands is different from the others both in topography and "personality". Lopez is the least populated of the three major islands and known as the friendliest . Its relatively flat terrain is popular with bicyclists who enjoy riding by the fields of fat cows, and wooly sheep, bordered by pleasant woodlands with their lurking deer, raccoons and rabbits.

Many of the island residents are here simply because Lopez is an unusually pleasant and friendly place to live; and they show it with their Lopez "WAVE" to friend and visitor alike. They are people who realize the priceless value of such a beautiful environment.

Whether it is the pleasant climate with only 22 inches of rain a year, and about 50 more days of sunshine than the Seattle area, the quiet country living, or the scenic beauty of the island, you will find something here you may have been missing. Come see for yourself !
