Spieden Island is a 516-acre island, located less than 1 mile north of San Juan Island across the Spieden Channel. In the 1970s the island was used for big game hunting; game animals were imported and a hotel, airport, and small hangar built to accommodate visitors. This no longer occurs due to the risk of shots carrying across to highly populated San Juan Island.
Jannard, the sunglass billionaire (~ $2.8 billion), purchased it in 1997 for $22 million.
He also owns two islands in northern Fiji.
