Welcome to Orcas Business Park
When the Harvey Family purchased a 150,000 square foot mixed-use business park in 1998, Orcas Business Park was born. Since inception, the managing owners have been John Harvey, JW Harvey and Michelle Harvey. John Harvey has owned and managed Seattle commercial property since the 1970’s. As a brother and sister team, JW and Michelle happily work side-by-side to run the business park and have been doing so for over 20 years. JW manages all aspects of tenant relations while Michelle is the financial manager. Between the three of them, you can expect reliable and trustworthy Landlord/Tenant relations. Our office door is always open to our clients and we treat our Tenants as our Business Partners. We both need each other to conduct business, and we value the open communication we have managed to foster with our long list of appreciated Tenants. When you move your business to our Park you will get a straightforward and honest approach from your Property Managers in all aspects of your rental needs.
Orcas Business Park is where your Landlord treats you like family.
Meet Our Team
With more than 40 years of experience in commercial property management and ownership, John has built a career centered on dedication, relationships, and hands-on leadership. The Harvey family purchased Orcas Business Park in 1998, and John has personally overseen and managed the property ever since along with JW and Michelle, bringing a strong sense of pride and personal commitment to the property and its tenants.
When he’s not working, John enjoys spending time with his wife of more than 50+ years. Together, they love watching their grandchildren grow up and traveling the world. In the winter, you’ll find John skiing down a mountainside, while summer often finds him hiking up the mountainside in other countries.
Through it all, John remains a firm believer in one simple philosophy:
“It’s always sunny in Georgetown.”
JW is happiest when he’s on the move. During the summer, you’ll find him loading up the motorhome and heading out with his kids and friends to explore the PNW, dirt bike riding, or adventures on his street bikes.
When winter rolls around, the fun doesn’t stop—JW enjoys timber sledding, skiing, and just about any other high-energy activity that gets the adrenaline going.
Around Orcas Business Park, JW is also the guy you want to know when something breaks. If it can be fixed, there’s a good chance JW can figure it out. He’s a natural problem-solver who loves working with his hands and finding a way to make things work.
With his go-go-go personality, love of adventure, and willingness to tackle whatever comes his way, JW brings plenty of energy and character to the Orcas team.
Family is an important part of Michelle’s life. She is the proud mom of her daughter, who is also attending WWU. At home, Michelle shares her space with two beloved cats, Merlin and Arthur.
Michelle loves spending time outdoors and enjoys just about anything that gets her out into nature. Whether she’s exploring the forest, taking in the views from a mountaintop, or spending time on the water, she feels most at home surrounded by the outdoors. She enjoys riding her Harley and finding new places to explore.
And then there are the essentials: Michelle is always on the lookout for a great pair of boots and the perfect lipstick. Because every adventure is better when you look good doing it!
Michelle brings a love of adventure, family, and the PNW wherever she goes—and a little style along the way.
Outside of work, Kristin’s greatest joy is her family. She has two children and three grandchildren, and she truly cherishes the time she gets to spend with them. She also enjoys camping with friends, getting together for good times, and making memories with the people she loves. She has a passion for travel—especially to warm, tropical destinations where she can relax, explore, and enjoy a little sunshine.
Kristin is a breast cancer survivor, a journey that has brought her strength, resilience, and an even greater appreciation for life and the people who make it special.
When he’s not working, you’ll often see James zooming around the park on his scooter. In 2025, he married Joralyn, and together they love getting outdoors and enjoying life. Their favorite activities include motorcycle riding, camping, bike riding, and, of course, cooking and barbecuing up some great food.
James brings a hardworking attitude, plenty of energy, and a willingness to take on just about any project. We’re happy to have him as part of the Orcas team!
When he’s not busy creating, tinkering, and finding clever ways to make things work, you’ll often find Ethan cruising around the park on his tricycle. His creativity and curiosity are a big part of what makes him such a unique and valued member of the Orcas team.
Ethan also brings his creative spirit to Burning Man, where he enjoys helping bring ideas and projects to life. Whether he’s building something new, solving a problem, or simply dreaming up the next great idea, Ethan is always making, creating, and figuring things out.
