The largest and hilliest of all the islands, Orcas provided summer shellfishing grounds for the Lummi Indians until the settlement years of the 1800’s. Farming, fishing, and logging eventually became the primary areas of commerce, but remain so for only a few of today's residents. Orcas has an area of 56.9 square miles. Population is about 4,900.

The Parks Department worked in concert with Orcas Open Arts and Stage on the Green to craft an amazing performance stage in the Village Green in downtown Eastsound. The facility is now completed and available to rent. Contact us at 378-8420 for details.
While there are no COUNTY campgrounds on Orcas Island, we can suggest Moran State Park (the only public campground on Orcas Island).
