Peter Santenello travels the United States to document what life is like in all kinds of towns across the country – big, small, urban, rural, unique, unusual, forgotten, and everything in between. He is currently in the middle of making a series about particular towns in Washington State, and he visited here a month ago to capture some of the real people and places on our island. Each Saturday he posts a new video on his YouTube channel, and the Orcas Island video posted this morning. You can watch it by clicking here.
Below are some screenshots of the people and places you’ll see in the video…

Here are the videos he has posted so far on his channel about Washington State (this is just a screenshot below, so you can’t click on any of them):
I had nothing to do with him deciding to come here – his plans were made and he happened to contact me, so it was happening no matter what.
