πŸ”Š Listen Β· narrated by Aiden

Annual NW Schooner Cup races took place on Saturday in Port Townsend Bay, featuring multiple schooners navigating the waters. A float plane safely avoided the vessels during the event, as reported by the Peninsula Daily News.

The Peninsula Health Officer announced new vaccine recommendations for children aged 2-18 with underlying health conditions. A community diaper drive is also underway to support families in need, addressing mental health concerns linked to diaper shortages.

Robert Moor will discuss his book "In Trees: An Exploration" at the Dungeness River Nature Center in Sequim on Thursday. The Port Townsend Marine Science Center will open the exhibit "Being on the Wing" at noon on Friday.
