What's Going On Today?

Kids Storytime at the Orcas Island Library
Thursdays from 11:00am-12:00pm
Join Jenny for storytime in our kids section!

Auditions for Upcoming Productions: Puffs
Auditions: November 20th & 21st at Orcas Center
Puffs is a theatrical spoof of a certain story about a certain wizard boy with a forehead scar who went to a certain Wizard School and battled a certain evil wizard for seven years. This, however, is not his story. This is the story of the Puffs–a group of students who love badgers and just happened to be there too. A tale for anyone who has never been destined to save the world.  At least 11 roles are available, and we will cast more by splitting roles if circumstances allow. All parts are available to any ethnicity, gender, or cultural background. More Info: www.OrcasCenter.org

Get out and Hike

Little Summit Trail – Difficult

2.2 miles. 430 feet elevation gain/loss Little Summit rests above Mountain Lake on the eastern side of Mount Constitution. The Little Summit Trail starts at one of the best picnic vistas in Moran State Park, with several tables for visitors to relax on as they enjoy views of Mount Pickett and the south sound. The trail continues along the sloping ridge of the mountain towards the summit through variable terrain populated by switchbacks, ant hills, and ancient Lodgepole Pine growth. Several vantage points along the trail offer breathtaking views and photo opportunities of eastern Orcas Island, including Mountain Lake and Twin Lakes, and the waters of the Salish Sea. Take the mid-way cutoff towards the Cold Springs Trail for further hiking or continue the ascent towards the summit and see the best view in the San Juan Islands.

A Bite Of Orcas

Matthew’s Smokehouse and Deli – By Simon

A Brief Overview Southern cooking, at its essence, is comfort. Comfort for both body and soul, and a place for people to come together in an environment, created as much by the food as anything else, and share experiences.

While I came away from my meal somewhat conflicted, certain things were never in doubt. Clarity, however, eludes me when examining the intricacies of the ownership of the establishment. Despite this fact…
