Friday Harbor Now - Friday Harbor's newest online news, information and events website updated daily by owner/editor Sherry Otis. Find Friday Harbor Now on Facebook as "FRIDAY HARBOR."
The Journal was one of the first newspapers, if not the first and is still in business and online today. Right about the time the dot com bubble was bursting a couple of local islanders launched their very own online only news source for the San Juan Islands called the San Juan Islander.
Probably the first online news source for the San Juan Islands was launched by someone who was probably the island's first website designer. This someone is Ian Byington and he still maintains his San Juan Update almost daily with photos, events, and interesting tidbits about islanders and local life.
The Island Guardian is another local favorite specializing in local politics that is updated daily by the editors, columnists and contributors.
DestiCam.com features high-quality WebCams positioned around the San Juan Islands which are great for checking the weather, ocean activity, or observing the natural beauty of the San Juans.
