Timeline of Orcas Island History: 2026 Edition

By Thomas Thomas Tillman

Timeline of Orcas Island History traces the story of Orcas Island from its geological beginnings and Indigenous heritage through exploration, settlement, logging, farming, transportation, tourism, community life, and the changes that shaped the modern island. Organized chronologically and illustrated with historic photographs, maps, newspaper accounts, documents, and local stories, the book brings together both major events and the smaller moments that often disappear from the historical record. Drawing on published sources, archives, oral histories, and decades of collecting island history, Thomas Tillman presents Orcas not simply as a sequence of dates, but as a living community whose past continues to shape the island today.
