— from Sheila Harley, PIO, San Juan Island Fire Rescue —
Again this year, the Wounded Warrior Project will visit Friday Harbor as part of Soldier Ride Seattle this Saturday, August 9.
The cyclists will arrive in Friday Harbor on the 10:05 a.m. ferry and arrive at the Mullis Street Fire Station at 10:30 a.m. From there, about 11:15 a.m., the wounded warrior riders will proceed around the Island via Mullis St. to Spring St. and then on to Douglas Road. They will follow Douglas to Bailer Hill Road and on to False Bay Road. They will take False Bay to Cattle Point Road.
The riders will take a break at Fourth of July Beach beyond the American Camp Interpretive Center, then head back via Cattle Point Rd. to The Friday Harbor Suites on Spring Street. Representatives from the San Juan County Sheriff’s Office, San Juan Island EMS, and San Juan Island Fire Rescue will accompany the riders to provide safety and traffic management.
People are invited to greet them along their way by cheering and waving American flags to say “Thank you” for their service and sacrifices made for our country.
