Understanding starts in community.
The strength and future of the San Juan Islands depend on the relationships we build — with each other, with the land, and with the past and future generations who call these islands home. When we take time to listen, to share stories, and to imagine what’s possible together, we create a foundation for decisions that reflect the heart of this place.

We believe real change happens through conversation — at kitchen tables, community centers, farmers markets, ferry lines, and trailsides. Whether you’re a longtime local, a student, a seasonal worker, or somewhere in between, your voice matters. That’s why Island Stewards is out and about — showing up at events, hosting gatherings, and meeting folks where they are. Want to talk? We’ll come to you.

And yes, we’ve also put together a short, anonymous survey to help gather insights about island life and how the Comprehensive Plan reflects (or doesn’t reflect) your experience. You’ll find that online — or in print, if you catch us around town.

Let’s imagine — and build — a more connected, resilient, and inclusive future. Together.
