Today's a day to learn about and celebrate the Indigenous peoples who've stewarded these islands for thousands of years—long before we were all arguing about ferry schedules. The weather's cooperating too: crisp, clear skies and barely a breeze make it perfect for getting outside, whether that's a contemplative walk, exploring local trails, or catching that golden hour at 5:44pm (the light's going to be *chef's kiss*). If you're looking ahead, the Odd Fellows are raffling off firewood soon, and next weekend's got the Farmers Market and Salmonberry School Fall Festival—autumn on Orcas is peak cozy.
