Customs and Border Patrol held a ribbon cutting ceremony to dedicate the official opening of their new location on the corner of Spring and First Streets in Friday Harbor.

They have gone from a previous office space of a very inadequate 550 square feet, which they have occupied since 1987, to a much better, more workable 5,500 square feet.

They have actually been in this new facility since last October, but they postponed their official dedication for a time when hopefully there might be better weather, and indeed they got their wish, as it was a gorgeous day today.
