San Juan Islands officials asked anyone thinking about taking a trip to the islands to postpone their travel plans to help slow the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

County officials prohibited non-essential travel to the islands, including day trips. Lodgings for vacationers are closed until at least May 4.

The advisory includes boaters who wish to anchor or pick up a mooring buoy. Overnight transient moorage at island marinas is not allowed.

Officials also asked anyone that has a home on the islands that isn’t their primary residence to not visit the island.

1. Which means not many ferry runs, I take it.

When I lived on Whidbey, it would have been easy to hunker down for a few weeks.
We had to do it with the big snowstorms, and that big blow in 1979 that took out the 2nd Tacoma Narrows bridge.

2. The 2nd Narrows Bridge did not blow down in 1979.

You must be thinking of the Hood Canal floating bridge.

3. Yes, thank you.

It's been a startling number of years ago.
