From farm feed and hardware to seasonal essentials — your neighborhood general store, stocked and ready, right here in Friday Harbor since 1953.
Kanaka Bay Trading Co has been a steady presence on Bailer Hill Road for over seven decades. What started as a modest supply stop for island residents has grown into the go-to destination for anyone who lives, works, or visits San Juan Island.
We carry what islanders actually need — no filler, no fluff. Whether you're repairing a dock, feeding livestock, prepping for winter, or looking for that one hardware piece you can't find anywhere else, we've got it on the shelf and the knowledge to help you use it.
From the barn to the workshop to your kitchen table — we carry the essentials that keep San Juan Island running.
Horse feed, poultry supplies, livestock minerals, and everything your animals need through every season.
Fasteners, lumber, paint, plumbing, electrical — the hardware you need without driving across the island three times.
Garden soil, plants, outdoor furniture, heating supplies, and seasonal items that make island living easier.
Dog and cat food, treats, toys, and supplies for the four-legged members of your island household.
Cleaning supplies, kitchen goods, storage solutions, and the everyday items you'd forget you needed until you ran out.
Gifts, novelty items, seasonal decorations, and the odd thing you didn't know you were looking for until you saw it.
We're not just a place to grab supplies — we're your neighbors who happen to know where everything is.
Seven decades of island knowledge means we know what works here — and what doesn't.
Can't find it on the shelf? We'll source it. Just ask — we make it happen.
Not sure about shipping? We'll walk you through your options so your order arrives on time.
No self-serve kiosks. Real people who remember your name and your projects.
The feedback speaks for itself — we're proud to serve the Friday Harbor community.
