More than 90 San Juan Islands Scenic Byway “wayshowing” signs will be posted on Orcas and San Juan during April, eight-and-a -half years since undertaking the grassroots scenic byway process in the fall of 2005.

The San Juan Islands Scenic Byway became Washington’s newest state byway in the spring of 2009.

Eighty-five, metal, 12 by 8-inch logo signs, to be posted by Scenic Byway partner San Juan County Public Works, will make it easier for visitors to find designated attractions, parks and amenities along the byway on both islands.

In addition, eight 60 by 27-inch gateway signs will be posted at the Anacortes, Orcas Island and San Juan Island/Friday Harbor Washington State Ferries terminals.

The signs were made possible via a national scenic byways grant, one of four grants received to date. Byway touring maps have been printed by the San Juan Islands Visitors Bureau each year since 2009, and online tours are included on the Visitors Bureau’s website at www.visitsanjuans.com/tours and online brochure.

The byway is divided into three segments: the first one-third encompasses 30 miles along the beautiful, blue marine highway (Washington State Ferries routes), the second one-third is a driving tour around San Juan Island, and the last third is a driving tour on Orcas Island.
