Our EMS Just Won Gold (Again)

San Juan Island EMS just snagged their third consecutive American Heart Association Gold Award—because apparently saving lives never gets old around here. With 123 calls in April alone, our first responders are quietly becoming the island's real MVPs. Pair that with a dry, breezy 62-degree day and nearly 16 hours of daylight (golden hour doesn't start until 8:20 PM, so you've got time), and you've got the perfect excuse to get outside and appreciate the people and places that make Orcas special.
