We are so excited for you to travel to the famous San Juan Islands with us! Listed below are the different modes of transportation available to get to our wedding venue.

Important note: We HIGHLY encourage guests to arrive the day before our wedding date, on Thursday June 19th, in order to ensure plenty of travel time to the island and that you don't miss any of the festivities due to unforeseen circumstances or delays.

The following is an overview of the different ways to travel to our wedding venue, Roche Harbor Resort. More information on each travel method choice is broken down below, but as an overview:

Guests will likely begin their journey in Seattle, Washington.

From Seattle, you can either:

- Drive from Seattle to Anacortes (1.5 hours), take your car on the ferry to Friday Harbor (1.5 hours), and drive to Roche Harbor Resort (20 mins).

- Take a shuttle from Seattle to Anacortes (1.5 hours), walk onto the ferry (1.5 hours), and take a shuttle/uber/taxi to Roche Harbor Resort (20 mins).

- Charter a seaplane from Seattle to Roche Harbor Resort (1 hr flight).

The closest airport to fly in to before traveling to our venue is Sea-Tac airport.

No matter what mode of transportation you choose, your final destination will be Roche Harbor Resort. The resort is located on San Juan Island.

Roche Harbor Resort Address:

248 Reuben Memorial Dr, Friday Harbor, WA 98250

Overview:

Anacortes is going to be your destination before boarding the ferry, as it is where the ferry takes off. Once you have arrived in Anacortes, you’ll purchase a round-trip ticket to Friday Harbor, which is the only ferry terminal on San Juan Island. After disembarking the ferry, Roche Harbor is a short, 20-minute drive through rural farmland and forests.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR DRIVING:

Ferry reservations are extremely recommended as they are free and guarantee you a spot on the ferry. You do not want to be on standby for the ferry as June is peak season, and many cars will be waiting in line. We have heard from locals that cars without reservations can wait 4+ hours for the ferry. Ferry reservations are released two months before the summer season (around April 16, 2025) and another smaller batch 2 weeks before the sailing date, so be sure to book your reservations months in advance!

1. Map directions from your starting point to the Anacortes Ferry Terminal (about 1 hour 45 min drive from Seattle).

2. Board the ferry to Friday Harbor. Enjoy the scenic ride (1 hour - 1 hour 45 mins depending on the ferry).

3. Map directions from the Friday Harbor ferry terminal to Roche Harbor’s check-in area, about a 20-minute drive.

Keep in mind that you don’t want to miss the boat, so be sure to make reservations and show up about 45-60 minutes before the scheduled departure time.

*Alternative option: During the summer months, many people decide to drive to the Anacortes ferry terminal, park at the terminal, and then walk on to the ferry.
