Welcome to Engage San Juan County, a platform launched by the County in 2023 to gather feedback, discuss topics, and inform the public about important policy, planning, programs, and projects taking shape in the San Juan Islands. Together, let&#39;s continue to make the islands a great place to live, work, and play!

Engage San Juan County

San Juan County is a community of islands connected by a marine highway system operated and maintained by Washington State Ferries (WSF). The largest ferry system in the United States, WSF is the lifeblood of San Juan County, providing transportation of people, goods and services to and between each of the major islands 365 days a year. Because of the complexities involved in this service, San Juan County has developed this informational page to help assist residents and visitors by consolidating timely information, links to useful sites, FAQs, and opportunities for feedback into a single, user-friendly location. We encourage you to bookmark this page on your digital device of choice so that you can readily access these resources when you need them.

Sea Level Rise Adaptation, Lopez Island   

San Juan County is developing a plan for a shared-use trail connecting the Town of Friday Harbor with neighborhoods, public lands, and other amenities. The project is in development and the public will have multiple opportunities to come together and provide feedback and input. HistoryThe idea for a trail to was born out of multiple planning documents, meetings, and community surveys that identified the need for &ldquo;a well-planned transportation system of multi-modal trails&rdquo; that &ldquo;connects people to places.&rdquo; Zylstra Lake Preserve as one possible destination, lies at the center of multiple corridors that have been identified in over two decades of the County&rsquo;s Parks Trails and Natural Areas Plan, which is now called the <a href="https://www.sanjuanco.com/1143/Recreation-Open-Space-Stewardship-Plan-R" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Recreation, Open Space, and Stewardship Plan.</a> These corridors are important opportunities to:<ul><li>Promote nonmotorized transportation</li><li>Provide safer conditions for biking and walking</li><li>Improve connectivity between popular sites</li></ul>FundingOn December 23, 2022, Representative Rick Larsen (District 2) announced that the project would receive $5.28 million in federal funds. Earmarked from the Fiscal Year 2023 Omnibus Spending Package, the funds support transportation-related Member Designated Projects that benefit the communities they serve, are generally supported by local elected officials, are enumerated in adopted plans, and encompass a feasible and achievable timeline.

The last CHA of San Juan County was completed nearly 15 years ago. It was vital for us to collect updated information, especially after the COVID-19 response, to get a full picture of the health and wellness of island residents.A full version of the CHA is available online here. There are also physical copies of the CHA distributed across the county for reading. To find a location with a physical copy near you, please see the list below or call our front office at 360-378-4474 and we will be glad to assist.Health &amp; Community Services staff will work with community partners to create a Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP).
