Today and tonight signify Friday, May 2.
SEQUIM — The Sequim First Friday Art Walk always has a color theme, and tonight it’s aqua, that water hue, in honor of this month’s Sequim Irrigation Festival.
Art walkers are invited to dress or accessorize in shades of blue as they visit the many participating galleries, shops and cafes, where admission is free.
