Accommodations

Anyone planning to stay on Orcas in the summer—particularly on weekends—should make reservations several months ahead of time to be assured of a space. Call the Orcas Island Chamber of Commerce lodging hotline (360/376-8888) for availability. It’s updated on a daily basis in the summer. Its website, http://orcasislandchamber.com [1], has links to quite a few local places, but a better bet is www.orcasisle.com [2], where you'll find comprehensive links to local B&Bs, cabins, and resorts.
