Overview of Village at the Harbor

Village at the Harbor is a senior living community in Friday Harbor, Washington, that provides independent and assisted living services. With a 36-bed capacity in San Juan County, it is one of the only full-service senior care options available in this island setting, which is accessible only by ferry or small aircraft. The community currently has a 72% occupancy rate that matches the Washington state average, indicating both consistent local demand and current availability. An active volunteer program further demonstrates how deeply the community is integrated into the local Friday Harbor landscape.

The DSHS compliance history includes three inspections and shows a positive overall trend, with the most recent inspection on July 15, 2025, resulting in no deficiencies and confirming that previous issues involving background checks, tuberculosis testing, and staff training have been fully resolved. While a substantiated complaint from March 2025 involved a staff member failing to report and investigate an allegation of yelling at a resident, the latest inspection suggests this has been addressed through corrective measures. Additionally, a January 2023 review cited fire safety documentation concerns, but these were also corrected in subsequent visits. There are no records of fines, license actions, or findings of immediate jeopardy. The deficiency-free result from July 2025 also serves as a strong indicator of quality for a community of this size and location.

Along with concierge support, 24-hour staffing, and professional nursing services offered, the dining program is a standout feature, which focuses on gourmet-quality food served daily. Located in Friday Harbor with views of the San Juan Islands and close proximity to the waterfront, the community offers a lifestyle environment that is unique among senior care options in Washington State.

Village at the Harbor is best suited for older adults in Friday Harbor and San Juan Island who wish to stay within their island community, in the proximity of their family and friends while having access to independent or assisted living support. The small scale of the community, combined with its gourmet dining, scenic setting, and recent clean inspection report, makes it an appealing choice for those who call San Juan Island home.
