Ringing in the new year

Spectators watch as fireworks explode over Memorial Field in downtown Port Townsend on Saturday night to herald in the new year. The fireworks, set to go off at 9 p.m. to coincide with the Times Square celebration in New York City, were the concluding event of First Night, an all-ages New Year’s Eve event put on by The Production Alliance, a non-profit in Port Townsend. Madison Street, site of city hall on the right, was blocked off so people could watch the display unhindered by traffic. (Steve Mullensky/for Peninsula Daily News)
