Living in Friday Harbor (San Juan)

United States · temperate

🌍

Friday Harbor (San Juan) is a village of roughly 2,200 people on an island in United States. The climate is temperate. It keeps a balanced mix of locals and visitors and is considered very safe. A typical month of living costs around $2,250. Healthcare is strong, and the internet is fast enough for full-time remote work. People come here for sailing, diving, cycling.

È un’isola ben collegata d’estate e molto meno d’inverno, e questo cambia molto per chi ci vive tutto l’anno. La sanità privata (5/5) è nettamente migliore di quella pubblica (2/5): metti in conto un’assicurazione. È uno dei posti dove vivere fuori rete è davvero praticabile, sia per legge sia per spazio. Chi nasce in United States è cittadino, quale che sia la nazionalità dei genitori.
