Talking Looking to move to san juan islands soon

Hi Everyone!

We are looking to move to the San Juan Islands soon and it is a toss up between Friday Harbor and Eastsound on Orcas Island. My dream is to follow the Killer Whales and do under water photography of theses amazing mammals. My husband is a sm engine machanic and has his degree, plus he is a "jack of all trades". We will do any kind of work just to be able to live out on the island. We have 1 dog and 1 cat. Anybody with any suggestions would be helpful.

Two good choices. Of the two, I like Orcas, but you really a matter of the one that you like better. Which one will be better for your work.

Just to remind folks that there is indeed life east of the Cascades:

Beautiful and picturesque are the criteria. Might I suggest Colville?

colville, wa - Google Search

A mild warning, though. There are bloodthirsty Republicans among the populace....

Yeah, if you want to talk politics at the gas station in Chewelah on the way up, the station owner is happy to oblige.

I suggest you have a lot of $ or a viable home business that caters to the outside world (beyond islands, like telecommuting or an e-business). Island living isn't cheap and good employment is scarce.
