Orcas Island is a beautiful little gem tucked away in the Pacific Northwest. Funnily enough, the islands namesake does not come from the cetaceans that inhabit the surrounding waters, but rather it is a truncation of the name Horcasitas, to honor a Spanish Viceroy that commanded the expedition. Today the island is a wild and wonderful escape with old growth forests, breathtaking terrain, local crafters, ancient orchards, and a lovely PNW charm. Be sure to take this custom icon watercolor print with you as you peruse quaint shops in Eastsound, climb to the heights of Moran State Park, enjoy Buck Bay oysters, or sail miles of pristine coastline.
