Residents of Orcas Island who need to make non-emergency contacts with the San Juan County Sheriff’s Office should now dial ph. 378-4151. The regular business line went out of service today unexpectedly and the phone provider has not, at this point, forwarded the number.

The Sheriff’s department will announce when and if the previous Orcas non-emergency number is restored to service.
