Epitome of an Island resort.
Roche Harbor was initially a Limestone quarry that has progressed though the years into the premier destination in the San Juan Islands. Great Marina, great old hotel in the Hotel De Haro.
Large-scale production at Roche Harbor began in 1886 after Indiana-born lawyer John S. McMillin (1855-1936) acquired a controlling interest in the property. Blessed with a deep bay adjacent to the rich limestone deposits, Roche Harbor grew rapidly, becoming the largest lime works in the west and the leading employer in the county. For 50 years until his death, McMillin ran the plant and the company town that he built around it. As head of the Republican party, he dominated San Juan County politics for decades.
