Just Heavenly Fudge is Announcing New Ownership!

Natalie & Marjoe have passed the baton to Desiree Damaso.

Desiree is excited to be continuing the tradition with the same great taste Lopezians expect, along with some inspired new flavors. She is staying true to what people already love about Just Heavenly Fudge with handmade quality and small-batch care. She is bringing fresh new energy and ideas to keep Just Heavenly Fudge growing for our community.

You can find Just Heavenly Fudge at LVM in the local products section adjacent to the deli, at the Islander Gift Shop, as well as online at Just Heavenly Fudge. Say hi to Desiree, sample some fudge, and of course, buy some to share every other Saturday at the Lopez Grange Winter Farmer's Market. You can also email her at ohfudgeonlopez@gamil.com. Local delivery is available.

Welcome Visitors

Lopez Island is the first ferry stop from Anacortes aboard the Washington State Ferries. Sailing time is approximately 45 minutes, so enjoy the ride as you wander past some of the smaller islands that make up this archipelago comprised of 175 named islands. Keep your eyes peeled for bald eagles, seals, otters and the occasional orca whale.

Lopez is the most rural of the three major islands, covering 29.5 square miles. The landscape blends woods with rolling farmlands and open spaces with shimmering vistas. Don’t be surprised if a passing motorist waves at you – it’s been a local custom for many years! There’s a genuine spirit of community here and a special feeling for life that pervades the population of 2,500. Lopez is home to many artists, craftspeople, musicians, farmers, fishermen, nature lovers, and eccentrics.

When planning a trip to Lopez, remember to dress casually. The weather typically is warm in the summer, with an average high temperature of 72, and wet in the winter, with highs in the 40’s-50’s. Average yearly rainfall is between 19-25 inches – about half of that in the neighboring Seattle area. We see an occasional snow shower in the winter but it never lasts long. Spring and Fall can be warm, cold, wet or dry…or just about anything in between! It’s best to layer clothing and always have a lightweight jacket or sweatshirt handy.

What’s there to do on Lopez? You can do as much or as little as you’d like. There are numerous public natural areas to enjoy or you can hunker down for some quality alone time. Shopping opportunities will satisfy most retail therapy needs and our restaurants offer a diverse sampling of fresh, local area foods. What To Do Here will give you a detailed list of options. Refer to our Directory for information on lodging, restaurants, shops, recreation activities, etc. There are also several Annual Events that happen throughout the year and should be considered as you plan your visit.
