Today and tonight signify Friday, Dec. 6.
SEQUIM — The streets will be alive tonight with music o free and harmonious o as the local barbershop quartet No Batteries Required arrives for the First Friday Art Walk, that free event around downtown Sequim.
The foursome, namely Bud Davies, Rich Wyatt, Rich Johnston and Jim Muldowney, will stroll and sing throughout the Art Walk from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
This monthly art showcase is all about connecting people: artists, art lovers and anyone who wants to explore the local scene. And Renne Brock-Richmond, organizer of the walk, gives it a color theme each month; in December it’s gold, so walkers are invited to dress or accessorize accordingly.
