Even though this is the middle of February and Puxitony Phil thinks there is another 6 weeks of winter…our gardens at the Harrison House are ready to pop. Our first crocus showed its purple head this morning.

There is quite an energy in town on the eve of the Centennial Celebration. Tomorrow Friday Harbor turns 100. We will celebrate in three different venues in town with music, dancing and of course cake. We will share pictures of tomorrows festivities.

The great weather and the Salmon Derby this weekend brought lots of folks to the Island. Many of our guests were disappointed that they were leaving tomorrow and wouldn’t be around for the Centennial Celebrations beginning tomorrow afternoon.

Coho’s new winter menu along with our centennial specials – entrees and bottles of wine for $19.09 and a $100 special for 2 including a starter, main, dessert, wine, taxes and gratuities were popular. We will continue these specials through Friday the 13th.

After the centennial celebration tomorrow, we will turn our energies to prepare the Inn’s for Valentine’s Day -roses, truffles and heart shaped cookies will abound. Our pastry chef’s will be feverishly preparing the pièce de résistance – the 7 deadly sins plate for 2 for dessert!
