Cruises from Seattle to San Juan Islands (whale watching) ?
Anybody know about a cruise that departs from any pier in Seattle and does a round-trip to San Juan Islands, to do whale watching, and maybe just visit the small towns?
It would be for this next weekend. My boyfriend’s coming to town and I would really love it if I could surprise him taking him on a cruise and see the whales.
I’ve read about going up to Anacortes and then take a ferry that takes you to the islands, but I think it’d be a lot nicer if we could leave from Seattle, as this would make us spend more time in the boat, and there’s the chance of going all the way up the coast line until we get to San Juan, so there would be a lot of sight-seeing. Leaving from Anacortes means taking the ferry but only for like an hour.
It’s for this next weekend (June 8th or 9th), so any helpful info will be much appreciated.
Washington State lucky-to-live-in-this-state residents… please help!
Thanks in advance.

This is the closest i could find to Seattle, it departs from Everett. i believe though this is only through April and during Summer it is from Anacortes. in December it departs from Seattle.
I would suggest making a tour of it, drive to the olympic mountains, very nice parks everywhere then make your way to Anacortes
