Washington State has one thing the others do not: The San Juan Islands. The largest and arguably most attractive island in this group is Orcas Island, located just off the northern coast of Washington State.

Can you imagine anything more romantic than kayaking through the bay with the one you love, watching seals swimming side by side, or soaking in mineral hot tubs to ease away the stresses left far behind on the mainland?

Why not consider staying at Laughing Moon Farms, located on Eastsound bay in the center of Orcas Island. The farms feature over 20 acres of breathtaking woodland and farmland and new, high quality cottages that are only moments away from Eastsound Village and all that Orcas Island has to offer. With enchanting views of Eastsound Bay, farm animals and even a pair of local eagles, Laughing Moon Farm is perfect for family vacations or romantic getaways.
