Description
Hotel De Haro is located in Roche Harbor on San Juan island, named after Captain de Haro. He and his crew became the first Europeans to sail among the forested San Juan Islands in 1787. In 1884 John S. McMillin, a Tacoma lawyer, discovered the richest and largest deposit of lime in the Northwest and began negotiations for their claims and property. By 1886 the Tacoma and Roche Harbor Lime Company was incorporated and becoming a large-scale American business. McMillin built the 20-room Hotel de Haro in 1886 and four years later a company town had grown up around the magnificent hotel. Today the area has become a popular place for boaters and vacationers.
