Friday Harbor Film Festival’s FREE Best of the Fest series will show “Alan Magee: Art is Not a Solace” at the San Juan Island Library on Friday, September 8 at 7 pm. This documentary was a runner-up in the Things To Consider category at the October 2022 Festival.
Friday Harbor Port Commissioners, Victoria Compton and Gibb Black, decided to pay $30,000 for a whale sculpture to be placed on the Spring Street Landing, something they had not actually even seen! The vote was not announced and came as a complete surprise. Nobody on San Juan Island was even asked about spending this money or given the opportunity to be involved in their choice.
