Notes from the Island — June 15

• The lowest tides in more than a decade are happening today around 11:15 a.m. and tomorrow just after noon. False Bay, Eagle Cove, and Granny’s Cove are all great places to check it out.
• Return of the River, winner of the 2014 Friday Harbor Film Festival Audience Choice Award, is FHFF’s next offering in its Director Series. Following a free online showing on Thursday from 6:30 to 9 p.m., the film will be available on demand from June 17 through 29 for $1.95. The documentary follows a group of strong-minded, committed people as they attempt to change the public opinion of a town, and eventually the entire country, to remove both dams on the Elwha River.
• Congrats to Storrie Arnold and Lili Light, who will be representing San Juan Island at the state Special Olympics this weekend.
• San Juan Community Theatre has released the schedule of shows for their 2022-2023 season.
• Rocky Bay Cafe is only open for take out today.
• The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Police were active in the islands over the weekend, issuing citations to boaters who collected shrimp in excess of the daily limit.
