The newest Washington State Ferry M/V Samish made it’s inaugural run from Anacortes to Friday Harbor on Sunday morning, June 14th, and was greeted by the SJC Sheriff/Fire boat “Sentinel” for an escort into the harbor complete with water cannons.

On hand to greet the vessel on its first scheduled arrival were Friday Harbor Mayor Carrie Lacher, State Senator Kevin Ranker, SJC Council Chair Bob Jarman and WSDOT Secretary Lynn Peterson. The San Juan Jazz Quintet was there as well to entertain.
