History of Friday Harbor unfolds in ‘Know Your Island Walk’
Published 1:16 pm Tuesday, May 19, 2015
In celebration of National Historic Preservation Month, San Juan Island architectural historian Boyd Pratt will lead a exploration of the Town of Friday Harbor and offer insight into how the few and modest string of wood-framed buildings that once upon a time lined Spring Street evolved into the downtown of fireproof masonry building surrounding the neighborhoods that we know today.
The walk is Saturday, May 23, 1-4 p.m., and begins at Brickworks, 120 Nichols St.,
which will also be a focus of Pratt’s presentation.
The guided walk will cover about one mile of sidewalk and pavement, with modest upslope in grade. The route is wheelchair accessible and dogs on leashes are welcome.
The walk, the next in the award-winning Know Your Island Walk series sponsored by San Juan Island Trails Committee, will proceed come rain or shine. Info, visit www.sanjuanislandtrails.org.
