— from Washington State Ferries –
Beginning Thursday, August 7 through Sunday, August 10, the annual Doe Bay Fest will take place on Orcas Island. Customers can expect increased traffic from Anacortes to Orcas due to this event. On Thursday and Friday, Aug. 7 and 8, the 6:45 p.m. sailing from Anacortes will make an unscheduled stop at Orcas to alleviate extra traffic.
This will delay the Hyak’s 8:20 p.m. arrival in Anacortes by approximately 40 minutes and the 9 p.m. departure from Anacortes by approximately 20 minutes.

We want to thank all of our neighbors who allowed us to invite musicians and fans to Doe Bay for our annual Doe Bay Fest. It went really well. The music was out of this world and the Doe Bay staff nailed it in every way in term of implementing our plans. I am so proud of all of them.
I am also appreciative that we have an impact on our community and we try to make it a positive one. If you see me at the Doe Bay Café, let me buy you a beer to thank you in person.
