Night Light

Thanks to Maintenance Engineer Bobby Matheson for all his effort in keeping the Moran Mansion and Rosario Resort grounds all lit up! Still powered by Robert Moran's original hydro electric plant, the mansion had to be an amazing site for those arriving to Orcas Island by boat over a century ago.

Safe Harbor

The San Juan Islands had two days of high winds over this Labor Day Weekend, but our Rosario Marina staff did a great job in bringing all the boats in safely. This photo from last night is definitely the calm after the storm.

Workplace Obstruction

If you have been to Rosario Resort on Orcas Island, you know that numerous deer make themselves at home on our grounds. This buck is definitely slowing our groundskeeper Brieanna Bitzer down a bit, since her job on this day is to mow the lawn the deer is laying on!
