THOUGH THE SAN JUAN ISLANDS aren ’ t as popular during the drizzly season , the relatively deserted towns make for a crowd-free adventure . The slow pace allows shop owners and artisans to linger with customers . Cloudy days offer their own kind of beauty . Mist often clings to fields and shrouds shores , lifting like a translucent curtain .
The hikes remain beautiful and wildlife plentiful during the fall and winter months . But don ’ t feel pressed to go exploring . These cuddle-worthy destinations feature cozy fireplaces that may keep you indoors all day and all night . Whether it ’ s a solo getaway or a party of two , the San Juan Islands offer the perfect mix of solitude and hospitality .
