Hype for the Future 146R: San Juan and Island Counties, Washington

https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2026/03/26/hype-for-the-future-146r-san-juan-and-island-counties-washington/

Reposting some #30DayMapChallenge maps from local cartographer and geography professor Aquila Flower (@AquilaFlower). Sharing for the local #PNW and #BellinghamWA content!

1. The age of buildings in Bellingham, WA
2. Density of marine passenger traffic in the #SalishSea
3. The terrain of the #SalishSea basin if there were no water. Where is the coastline obvious, and where is it hard to spot at all?

Well, it looks like I either caught lunch or dinner. Both of these are about a quarter inch larger than the minimum and both male so they're both keepers. Oddly, they were the only crabs on board when I pulled them in; the last few times the trap has been full. #boating #crabbing #BoatLife #SanJuanIslands

#RoyalRoadsUniversity recently unveiled its new #Indigenous #MedicineGarden – a project designed to give #students and #community members a chance to learn about #plants that the #Lekwungen speaking peoples have used since time immemorial.

Solara Goldwynn, Royal Roads' farm and #FoodSystems lead, and Kenneth Elliot, #EthnoBotanist and #CowichanElder, chose the garden’s colourful mix of plants, most of which grow naturally in the traditional territories of the Lekwungen-speaking peoples (southern #VancouverIsland and the #SanJuanIslands and #GulfIslands

#Chelen will replace #Kaleetan as #3 vessel in #SanJuanIslands beginning with 1235p #Anacortes departure. Kaleetan will take over #2 sailings for #Yakima later today until that vessel is repaired. Route schedule: https://t.co/D0bhlTyRb6 https://t.co/e9R8bk6ZnL

@blitzswitch217 #Kaleetan will be moving moving from #Edmonds/#Kingston to #SanJuanIslands. #Spokane coming out of dry dock and will replace Kaleetan on Edmonds/Kingston.

Heads up #SanJuanIslands Interisland riders! Final roundtrip (starting with 530p #FridayHarbor departure) may be canceled daily thru Mon 7/8 due to unfilled crew relief request. We’ll continue trying each day to fill the position, but have had difficulty doing so the past 2 days. https://t.co/dx20D8RfXG

Just went for groceries in #Eastsound. Seems that the weekend guests have arrived.

On this day in 1968, the #Yakima took its maiden voyage. Originally built in San Diego for the #Seattle-#Bremerton route, it moved to the #Edmonds-#Kingston route in the early 80s. After a rebuild in 1999, it was moved to the #Anacortes-#SanJuanIslands run, where it remains today https://t.co/wPC0NcsG20

#Chelan repairs complete. Vessel will return as #1 boat on our #SanJuanIslands route beginning with the 3:40 p.m. #Anacortes departure. https://t.co/jSeQNSSM4f

#Eastsound #OrcasIsland is emoting "OK, I suppose we're doing this"...

- Daffodils go.

- Cherry and apple blossoms, you're on standby.

- Tourist shops and outdoor dining, this is your first early call.

#SanJuanIslands folks: if you aren't already, the Ferry Riders Opinion Group is looking for more participants. Nearly all of us, I'm guessing, have opinions about the ferries. Here's a place to gather them:

Yesterday I used GISsurfer’s ‘screenshot’ feature and made georeferenced JPG maps for some areas of the #SanJuanIslands in the #PNW. Those JPGs are online via Google Drive. When I release GeoJPG v2 next month anyone will be able to use these JPG maps offline and see their geolocation.

Employee shot this from #Issaquah during rough seas Tuesday near Strait of Juan de Fuca. We were moving vessel w/o passengers to #Anacortes. Damage minimal. This has no effect on service. Ferry will replace #Chelan in #SanJuanIslands by the weekend. Sorry about language in video. https://t.co/62YHJTiTj0

Crazy - thunderstorms night and day in the islands in late August. Flashes of lightening and claps of thunder through the wild fire haze is post apocalyptic.

#sanjuans #SanJuanIslands #pnw #anacortes

#Chelan has been towed out of #FridayHarbor and is en route to #Anacortes. #Salish is heading up to the #SanJuanIslands and will begin service as the Interisland boat beginning with the 215p sailing out of Friday Harbor.

We’re waiting for final Coast Guard approval to tow #Chelan out of #FridayHarbor tomorrow morning 8/22. At the same time, we’re working on crewing a replacement vessel to move north so we can resume #SanJuanIslands Interisland service by the end of the day tomorrow.

During inspection of #Chelan, divers found hull damage, which requires dry docking for repairs. We're working with Coast Guard on permission to tow boat out of #FridayHarbor & clearance for another vessel to serve #SanJuanIslands interisland route, which remains out of service.

We're working with the Coast Guard on investigating what led to the incident. Because there is only 1 tie-up slip at #FridayHarbor, our #SanJuanIslands Interisland route will remain out of service until #Chelan is cleared to move. That's when we plan to move another vessel there.
