The Island Blotter

A deputy discovered a gentleman practicing his "rough sleeping" skills behind a Friday Harbor business—turns out the only thing he was building was a case for relocating to an actual campsite.

A Friday Harbor resident brought a found bicycle to the Sheriff's Office, proving that at least one person on the island knows how to bike-cycle their good deeds back into the community.

Local scammers are really upping their game—they're now calling with fake arrest warrants and asking for bail money via bank transfer. Pro tip: real law enforcement won't threaten you over the phone and demand payment to your personal account, so if you get this call, just hang up and call the Sheriff's Office instead.
