On Wednesday, July 4, pirates, cowboys and mermaids were spotted on Spring Street in Friday Harbor.
That can only mean one thing: another lively Friday Harbor Fourth of July Parade is in the books.
Both town residents and visitors celebrated a festive Independence Day last Wednesday with such activities as the town parade, fireworks and local Kiwanis Club’s Pig War Picnic.
