03/12/2007: "Is It Okay To Park In The Intersection?"

(Ed Rouleau of Friday Harbor tells a driver -who had blocked the intersection- where they should go)

A traffic jam and confusion resulted in Friday Harbor on Sunday when drivers arriving at the ferry lanes found a full lot, but no terminal workers or agents. Many of the drivers were unsure what to do, or where to go. More than one driver simply pulled behind the last car in a full lane, even thought this fully blocked the street and the intersection.


Within moments there were cars backed up three ways. Sergeant Scott Brennan (photo above) twice showed up on the scene, and while radioing in to dispatch to try and locate the missing ferry agents, he directed traffic and would be ferry riders, and gave out information until a employee for the ferry agent showed up to lend a hand.

A short time later the familiar orange vested -and very welcome- ferry terminal worker returned to relived Sgt, Brennan, who happily resumed to his normal duties.
