Most Washingtonians Have Never Heard Of This Fascinating Whale Museum
Whale watching is a popular pastime in Washington, which is pretty amazing — not every state can make that claim. But unless you’ve spent some time in Friday Harbor, you may not know there’s an entire museum dedicated to these majestic creatures. And The Whale Museum is definitely worth exploring.

Friday Harbor is located on San Juan Island, and it's definitely the most popular tourist destination of all the San Juans.

The goal is to educate people about amazing whales, other marine creatures, and the ecosystem in which they live.
