Faces of the Fourth…the parade rocked!
Written on July 6, 2009 at 2:50 pm, by Ian Byington
What a beautiful way to start the day… When Pat O’Day & Doug Bison do the announcing of the Fourth of July parade in Friday Harbor, they mention that there are over a thousand people in the parade. As I counted the folks in the nearly sixty floats/entries, I got over two bazillion…it felt like Continue Reading

Have you been down to Friday Harbor Seafood yet this season? It was cool to see Eric & Brenda so busy, down at their place on the docks in the Port of Friday Harbor Marina this past month. If you’re looking for fresh seafood, this is the place to go!

Flying in, too…
Written on July 6, 2009 at 12:41 pm, by Ian Byington
Sure, the ferries were busy over the weekend (and today!), but some people beat the rush by flying in with Kenmore Air…I had never seen two planes landing in the harbor right after each other before. Busy enough! Photo by Josie Byington.
