Voices of the Islands

Chief Mate Donna

Journey to the Islands

When I see people get on the ferry, they let their troubles melt away.

Getting to the San Juan Islands is an adventure all its own. Donna is a chief mate for the Washington State Ferries and guides visitors and locals alike through the 172 islands.

“I love being able to take people to the San Juan Islands. The scenery is amazing.”
