Port Book and News, Port Angeles, Wash., is celebrating the return to service of the ferry linking Port Angeles and Victoria, British Columbia:
"Welcome Back 🇨🇦
Did you know that more than 26 million people have journeyed between Victoria and Port Angeles on the Coho ferry since 1959? It brings millions of dollars and hundreds of jobs. More than that, the ferry and our Canadian neighbors help make us a better, stronger, and unique community.
We missed you very much ❤️
P.S. Did you remember the Nanaimo bars?"
Bookseller Steven Pate added, "It's a big day for us, as the Coho ferry to and from Victoria started again, and there was much celebration and outreach to our Canadian visitors, hoping the Presidential hostility to our northern neighbors won't affect our closeness here."
The 38-year-old Port Book and News is under new ownership; Crystal Council recently acquired the business from longtime owners Cindy and Alan Turner.
