Friday's Got More Alerts Than Our Patience

No rain, 57 degrees, and enough ferry alerts to make you question your life choices — but hey, at least the Orcas Hotel Bar is grand-opening tonight at 6pm, so you'll have the perfect place to process whatever the ferry system throws at you. Golden hour hits at 7:33pm if you want to pretend life is beautiful before heading back to the dock. Art classes and a student exhibit happening this afternoon if you need something to do besides refreshing the ferry status page.
