As a 42 year resident of Friday Harbor, I write to encourage other island town residents to vote for Farhad Ghatan, our present mayor, who deserves another term. The town of Friday Harbor is only 1-mile square, but everything that happens here affects all island residents, even all county residents, plus our visitors, of course.

Farhad seems to have a keen sense of how to balance the interests of town residents, the little business district and all other island residents. He is courteous and helpful to all who reach out to him and I think we will do well to keep him in office for another term.
