We started Simply Orcas to share our love of Orcas Island, one of the San Juan Islands in the Pacific Northwest where we’re fortunate to live, work and play.
Living on a 57 square mile island – free from the stressors and complexities of mainstream society – we get to focus on our passions of gardening, nature, boating and other outdoor activities. We engage in a lively community where people know your name, wave as they drive by and really want to know how your day is going! And as Realtors we’ve learned the nooks and crannies of this tiny paradise and have fun helping others realize their dreams of moving here too.
Join us as we discover the simple things that bring the most joy to this journey called life.
Life on Orcas Island – we think it’s better here!
Love your blog!
Thanks! I meant to send you a link. We’re having fun with it!
What a great blog about our beautiful island! Keep up the good work. Lance
You are both blessed to live on Orcas. I grew up there and my sister still lives there so I get to visit as often as I can! I was just checking out Orcas-related blogs (which I post about a few times year) and had to say “hi”!
Thanks for saying “hi”! Yes it is truly a magical place to live — you’re so lucky to have grown up here and we’re lucky to have landed here. It’s a little slice of heaven!
Indeed it is!
Love your blog! My husband and I bought property on Orcas a few years back after visiting friends who live there. We intend to build a home there in the next couple of years and retire to Orcas. We can’t wait. We love it there. So peaceful and beautiful!
Hi Susie, Glad you enjoy our blog! Very excited for you to be moving here… it truly is heaven on earth. When you get closer to building, contact Teri regarding putting together a building permit package for you — through her company Permit Resources. Stop in and see us when you’re here!
Awesome. Will do. Thanks. In the mean time, I’ll enjoy some island flavor in your blog!
