Brown Island, also known as Friday Island, is a small private community island near Friday Harbor on San Juan Island, San Juan County, Washington. It lies just off shore to the east of the town. The island has a land area of approximately 70 acres.
In the 1960s, Brown Island was tastefully developed by 21 limited partners. These developers viewed the island as a place where families, for generations to come, could have a vacation getaway. Brown Island has a wonderful marina, swimming pool and full-time caretakers.
Brown Island was the first development in San Juan County that had self-imposed environmental restrictions, including restrictions on cutting trees and no cars for personal use. With the exception of a fire truck and utility truck, transportation is limited to golf carts. To this day it is a magical place and in keeping with the dream of the original developers, an ideal getaway on every level.
