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)
