The San Juan County Land Bank announces its intention to sell all four of its lots located at the intersection of Argyle Avenue and Malcolm Street in the Town of Friday Harbor. The Land Bank hopes to sell all of the lots as one unit rather than separately. 

These properties are located in the town’s historic district and were acquired by the Land Bank to insure that future development would be consistent with the historic character of the neighborhood.
