DID YOU KNOW?
The population of the San Juan Islands nearly doubles in the summer. As full-time residents, we have a unique opportunity to support our local businesses during the off-season when our community is quieter.
POPULATION SNAPSHOT
According to the 2020 Census, about 8,600 people lived full-time on San Juan Island. By 2023, that number grew to roughly 9,100. During the summer, our population surges to between 17,000 and 19,000 thanks to visitors, seasonal workers, and part-time residents.
