Located smack in the middle of beautiful, horseshoe-shaped Orcas Island, Eastsound is this island's commercial center. Small town friendly in a big way, Eastsound offers restaurants, shops, and galleries, as well as the Orcas Island Historical Museum. Summers feature a Saturday Farmers Market along with Thursday brown bag concerts outside the Emmanuel Episcopal Church, built more than 100 years ago. The village's cultural hub is the Orcas Center, which presents plays and concerts as well as serving as a meeting place for various civic groups. No trip to Orcas Island is complete without spending a few hours in Eastsound, one of the island's many treasures.
