Islanders! What's your journey story?
We are collecting Islanders' recollections of how they came to Orcas. Did you come for vacation and just stay? Or did you dream of retiring here? Did you come here looking for a better life away from the hustle and bustle of the mainland?
The Library has a book available for you to enter your journey story. We hope to collect as many stories as possible, as everyone has a story to tell. Anonymity is optional.
Please share your journey story with us! It will become part of the Orcas Island Historical Museum's archives. Imagine future Islanders enjoying reading this journal in 50 years' time.
