I often see your name on the San Juan Islands Visitors Bureau Facebook page. I see that Sandy has let you know about the new location of the Farmers’ Market at the Brickworks Plaza. This historic building is going through a complete refurbishment.

On a different note you mention “beaches that have ranked higher than any other beach in the U.S.” I’m wondering which beach(s) you are referring to and where you saw the ranking. Thanks!

Same as for the University of Michigan’s teams. Any connection from way back then?

Take the alley next to the movie theatre from Spring Street to Sunshine Alley. The market is located in one of Friday Harbor’s most important historic landmarks, the Brickworks. During the summer months there are also an evening art market and musical events taking place there. At the Brickworks you’ll find fresh island-grown food, music, art and local history. Be sure not to miss it.
