San Juan Island National Historical Park preserves and protects a diverse variety of natural features, ecosystems and habitats in its two units on San Juan Island. The island is the second largest by area in the San Juan Archipelago, which lies north of Puget Sound, nestled between Canada’s Vancouver Island, the Strait of Georgia, the inland coast of northwest Washington state, and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. This region is known to anthropologists as the Salish Sea. The archipelago includes more than 800 islands, rocks and reefs and 370 miles of tidelands, which are regarded as among the more diverse intact marine ecosystems in the nation.

The park’s rich terrestrial and water resources are especially significant and valuable in a place and time of shrinking open spaces and dwindling undeveloped shoreline. The park’s 1, 752 acres make it the second largest protected public space in the San Juans. With 6.1 miles of shoreline, San Juan Island NHP protects the most public shoreline in the San Juan Archipelago.
