The Wedding Website of Rukari Austin and Emily Buswold
We are so excited for you to experience Roche Harbor and San Juan Island! From Seattle, you can expect to need 4+ hours door-to-door. The San Juan Islands are a remote archipelago located at the top of the Washington border, just under Vancouver Island, BC. Four main islands make up the chain - Shaw, Lopez, Orcas, and San Juan Island (that's us!) The main town on San Juan Island is Friday Harbor, and our wedding venue, Roche Harbor Resort, is located approximately a 20-minute drive from downtown. The islands are as stunning as they are remote. For that reason, they are very popular, so please make sure to plan your travel and lodging!

Flight

Seattle–Tacoma International Airport

For guests traveling by plane, we recommend flying into SeaTac before continuing on to San Juan Island via ferry or seaplane.

Travel Note

Ferry Information

The most common and cost-effective way to get to San Juan Island is to drive to Anacortes, Washington, and take a Washington State Ferry. You can either drive or walk onto the ferry. FOR THOSE BRINGING A CAR TO ROCHE HARBOR: It is crucial to book your ferry reservation to/from the island ahead of time. We cannot stress this point enough - drivers must book your ferry reservation in advance! Anacortes is a ~2-hour drive from SeaTac airport. Kindly note that the ferry will require you to be in line for your boat 1 hour in advance. The ferry ride to San Juan Island is a beautiful 60-minute trip! FOR THOSE NOT DRIVING: If you do not plan on driving or renting a car, you may purchase a walk-on ferry ticket! There is a bus via the Bellair Charters & Shuttles that will take you directly from SeaTac Airport to the Anacortes ferry terminal. Should you plan to drive to the port, there is a $5/day long-term parking lot. Ticket reservations are valid for 90 days, so you can purchase tickets starting on July 14, 2024. Bellair Airport Shuttle: www.airporter.com When booking, select the route “Anacortes - Friday Harbor”. Ferry booking link: https://wave2go.wsdot.com/webstore/shop/viewItems.aspx?cg=21&c=76

Flight

Seaplane Information

An alternative option to get to San Juan Island is to fly directly to Roche Harbor Resort from South Lake Union via Kenmore Air (or charter a flight via San Juan Air.) It is a gorgeous & quick flight! Kenmore Air seaplanes fly from downtown Seattle directly into Roche Harbor in about an hour. Roundtrip tickets typically cost ~$300 per person. You can also relatively reasonably charter a plane with a small group. If you are interested in flying (or chartering a plane with a small group) please give Kenmore Air a call at (866)435-9524 or visit their website; Kenmoreair.com
