Walk through Friday Harbor, the only incorporated town in the San Juan Islands — a cluster of 172 islands in the waters between Washington State and British Columbia. From the ferry landing to the Whale Museum to the shoreline where the United States and Britain nearly went to war over a dead pig, this 1.5-mile walk covers island history, marine science, and one of the most improbable border disputes in diplomatic history.
