It is not recommended to deliver your baby on Orcas Island, San Juan Island, or Lopez Island. The medical centers there recommend that you go somewhere off island such as Island Hospital in Anacortes.
However each island does have a medical center capable of handling serious injuries. If it is anything critical you will be flown off island via medevac helicopter.
