I watched the season premier of “Harper’s Island,” CBS’s version of “Lost,” over the weekend mostly because I was bored but also because it is set in Washington. (It’s actually filmed in British Columbia according to imdb.com)

A line of text in the opening scene of the murder mystery says Harper’s Island, the location where a bunch of murders will take place during the 13-episode series, is located 37 miles off the coast of Seattle.

My initial thought was that the show’s writers should have read a map. Head 37 miles off the coast of Seattle and you’ll end up in Olympic National Forest. But there are five islands exactly 37 miles from Seattle’s ferry docks.

The first three – Indian, Whidbey, Marrowstone and Camano – don’t fit the bill. All can be reached by car and the show makes it clear that Harper’s Island can only be reached by boat.

So that leaves just one island that could possibly be Harper’s Island: Anderson Island.

Anderson Island, located 8.5 miles southwest of the Narrows Bridge, doesn’t look all that creepy.

But then again, either did Harper’s Island.
