Denise and Jane raved about our local goods and organic produce, leaving with locally made pottery, a Marrowstone wool beanie, local beer, and plenty of treats. Nothing for poor Cedar the pup, but he was thrilled about a Fort Flagler walk. This was Jane’s first trip to the store and she says she’ll be back this weekend from Olympia!

Thank you, Erica Bauermeister, for spending a gloriously sunny Saturday with us, sharing your creative process and discussing your latest novel, No Two Persons. We’re so fortunate to have your literary talent in our community. And thank you to all who joined us for such an inspiring conversation. Stay tuned, more book events are coming!

Congratulations to our Marrowstone Island Citizens of the Year, Mark and Linda! We are grateful for everything you do for our island. Mark, your tireless work at Fort Flagler, culminating in the beautifully renovated WWII Theater, is remarkable. And Linda, we are so fortunate to have you as a member of our NGS board and MICA leader. Together, you embody the very best of what community means.
