SEQUIM — The First Friday Art Walk arrives in Sequim tonight, bringing free art shows, opening parties and live music together downtown.
And as always, there’s a color theme. With spring nearly here, it’s green, so art walkers are invited to dress or accessorize in any shade of it.
Here’s a cross-section of shows to see and receptions to attend this evening, from 5 p.m. till 8 p.m. unless otherwise noted.

In addition to meeting visitors during tonight’s opening, Tiller will give a free talk at the Blue Whole at 6 p.m. Tuesday,
