OSM map of Friday Harbor
This page is for planning the retreat at the Whiteley Center on the Friday Harbor campus on San Juan Island between January 30 to March 7.
Lots of general about Friday Harbor are on the Friday Harbor entry on WikiVoyage and we should contribute there where possible.
Transportation
- Options for seaplanes
- Island Airporter: Shuttle service from Seatac to Friday Harbor. Monday through Saturday (no Sunday service). Pickup in Friday Harbor Dock at 5:45 and at Seatac at 12PM.
- The west side of the island is quite hilly.
Weather in February
Generally, highs will be between 5-10°C and lows between 0-5°C. Monthly averages are described here. Snow is uncommon.
Questions for the staff at the Whitely Center
- Which kitchen equipment are available?
- Are there monitors/keyboards in the studios? If so, how many?
Other
- Befriend alpacas at Krystal Acres
- Feed Popeye the harbor seal.
- Say hi to orcas
- Improve the article for Friday Harbor on Wikivoyage
- Visit other San Juan Islands
- Golf?
- Potential hikes
- Add hiking trails & bike-friendliness info to OSM
- Can we add street view for OSM around San Juan Island?
Things To Buy
- HA12W directional wireless antenna (Aaron?)
- HW2R1 wireless repeater/bridge (Aaron?)
Things to bring
- Passport
- The Abyss (Krystle)
- Monitors (if necessary)
- External keyboards (if necessary)
- USB chargers
- Projector, cords (Mika&Mako)
- Camera
- Bicycles, helmets, lights, gloves
- ? Camping or hiking gear?
- Personal toiletries (shampoo, soap etc.)
- Cottages do not have alarm clocks/clock radios or flashlights. We may might want to bring those as well.
- Food — the Dining Hall will be closed.
Things not to bring
We won't need to bring:
- Bedding/bath towels will be supplied at $5.78 per week for each occupied bedroom.
- Kitchen essentials. Apparently: "Your kitchen is nicely stocked with the essential equipment for cooking."
The Whiteley center has some restrictions on what we can bring to the cottage or the Friday Harbor Laboratory campus.
- Animals (FHL campus)
- Children (just the cottages)
