SEQUIM — With help from family, friends and complete strangers, Wynn Hannam helped her 3-year-old daughter Nora celebrate her birthday in the age of COVID-19.

Wynn asked the community on social media to drive by their home on West Spruce Street and wave and honk Saturday.

“We have a big family and needed to do something to get her excited and have everyone come together in some way,” she said.

Nora, along with her mom, dad, Jared, and 5-year-old sister, Ellie, waved to several cars and were surprised by the large number of people driving by — including people they didn’t know — and giving Nora presents.
