San Juan County’s Shoreline Master Program (SMP) is the local land use regulation designed to protect shorelines for people and wildlife. The SMP is authorized by the State Shoreline Management Act (Act). The Act governs the shoreline area that extends 200 feet upland from the high water mark of all marine waters and the following lakes: Dream, Sportsmans, Briggs, Trout, Woods, Zylstra, Horseshoe, Spencer, Martin, Cascade, Mountain, and Hummel. Origins of the Act In 1969, the Washington Supreme Court ruled that a landowner could not fill in his lake shoreline below the high water mark. The Court reached this conclusion by holding that all state waterways are reserved for public access and recreation. In response to the resulting uncertainty about the extent of the public’s rights in shoreline areas, the state legislature established the Act in 1971. The Act recognizes the value and fragility of Washington’s shoreline ecosystems and emphasizes protection against adverse impacts to the land, water, native vegetation, and wildlife. These protections support our economy by preserving fishing stock and attracting tourists to the beauty of the San Juans. While establishing natural protection as its primary focus, the Act also Guests on an Outdoor Odysseys kayak tour looking at eelgrass off Posey Island.

Travel between islands or to and from the mainland is by boat or airplane. San Juan County’s highway is the State ferry route; there are no land based state highways. Washington State Ferries (WSF) is the principal provider of marine transportation between the four main islands (San Juan, Orcas, Shaw and Lopez) and the mainland through Anacortes, Washington and through Sidney, BC, Canada (see Figure 1). Figure 1-San Juan County Marine Facilities and the WS Ferry Route The sixteen marine facilities, owned and maintained by San Juan County Public Works, supplement WSF operations by serving as transportation hubs between islands and the mainland to provide marine access for: Delivery of people, vehicles, and freight Commuting to Lopez, Orcas, San Juan and the mainland for business, services, work and school WSF Terminals for walk on passengers Postal service Emergency services and law enforcement Marine recreational or tourism opportunities for County residents and visitors San Juan County Public Works owns and/or maintains marine facilities (piers, floats, and ramps) at 16 locations that connect to the 270 miles of County Roads on San Juan, Orcas, Shaw, Lopez, Decatur, Stuart, and Waldron (see Figure 2).

  • Washington Geology, V, 21, No. 4, December 1993
    WASHINGTON GEOLOGY Washington Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geology and Earth Resources Vol. 21, No. 4, December 1993 Hercules No. 1 quarry in Tenino sandstone at Lemon Hill in Tenino (ca. 1908), operated by the Hercules Sandstone Co. A coal- or wood-fired, steam-driven, double channeler under 200 pounds of steam is cutting blocks. The channeler moved 40 feet each half hour and cut a groove 2 inches deep on each pass; it took many passes to cut the 52-inch depth of these blocks. A set of three tempered steel bits was located on each side of the channeler; two bits were arranged with blades perpendicular to the channel length, and the center bit was set at 45 degrees to the other bits. Bits used to make the first cut in the channels were 2.5 inches wide, but were progressively changed and were 1 inch wide for the deepest part of the groove. A man walked on each side of this machine, using a long-handled spoon to remove stone chips from the grooves. The machine ran 24 hours a day. A derrick moved the channeler to new positions. Water for the boiler was brought up in barrels. Hoses on the left are for steam drills run by power from the channeler. Men on the right in this photo are using wedges to split off parts of the outermost block. Blocks were also split off at the base with wedges. The comer of the "platform" has broken at a joint.

    BOARD & STAFF MEMBERS BIOS – MAY 2014 David Alexander David’s love of boating first brought him to the San Juan Islands in the early 1970’s. He has since cruised extensively through the San Juan and Gulf Islands with extended trips into northern BC and SE Alaska. He is a hiker, skier, fisherman, gardener, guitarist and loves kayaking and sailing the waters around Deer Harbor. David retired in 2008 after a 29-year career in the commercial real estate industry where he was president and owner of a Seattle-based commercial brokerage firm. In addition, he was a principal in a development company, which produced several medical office buildings and clinics co-owned and managed by David and his partner until sold in 2007. He received his B.A. degree from the University of Washington in 1977 with an emphasis in real estate and finance. While living in Seattle he was involved in the community as a member of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, IFMA, NACORE, and was a member of the boards of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of America – Seattle Chapter, and the Seattle Repertory Theater. Upon retirement, David and his wife Sonia moved to Orcas Island, where he has served as a member of the Orcas Island Community Foundation Investment Committee, as president of the Orcas Tennis Club, as a steward for the San Juan Preservation Trust, and as a member of the Orcas RC Airplane Club.
