About Lummi Island

Lummi Island
 

Lummi Island is part of the San Juan archipelago, located in the Whatcom County of Washington State, easily accessible by a short ferry ride from the mainland. The island boasts lush woodlands, scenic beaches, and a rolling topography that promises visitors both tranquility and adventure. Its ecological diversity includes forests rich in Douglas fir and cedar, as well as marine environments teeming with diverse wildlife, including seals, sea lions, and orcas off its shores. The island has a rich cultural heritage, originally inhabited by the Lummi Nation, known for their intricate basket weaving and fishing skills. Visitors today can enjoy a slower pace, exploring local art galleries, hiking trails offering panoramic views of the surrounding waters and mountains, or biking along its quiet roads. The island's charm is amplified by its small resident community and limited commercial development, making it a favored escape for those seeking peace and natural beauty.
