😔 We heard you! 😔

Construction at the Town’s wastewater treatment plant is resulting in odor concerns in the vicinity which we are working to address. The issue is expected to be temporary, and every effort is being made to minimize odors.

The facility uses a biofilter system to reduce sewer odors. Major renovations at the plant have temporarily impacted the effectiveness of the filter to perform as intended. The Town strives to operate the plant responsibly and be a good neighbor. When issues arise, our crew identifies and addresses the problem as quickly and effectively as possible.

The Town appreciates the community’s patience and understanding as the crew works to provide reliable wastewater treatment service. We'll do our best to remedy the situation as quickly as possible.

🗣️ Public hearing on short-term rentals continued to August 20 🗣️

The Friday Harbor Town Council is accepting public testimony on proposed Ordinance No. 1841, which would establish new regulations for accommodations of 30 days or less. The proposed regulations would apply to hotels, bed and breakfasts, vacation rentals, and other short-term rentals. The Council opened the public hearing on Aug. 6, and continued the hearing to Aug. 20 to allow additional time for the public to provide input.

Community members may provide testimony in person at the continued public hearing on August 20, 2026, or by email to the Town Clerk at [email protected]. Written testimony must be received before 9 a.m. on Aug. 20.

A six-month moratorium on new transient rental permits within the Town took effect on Dec. 10, 2025. Following a public hearing on Feb. 5, 2026, the Town Council voted to continue the moratorium. The moratorium affects new building permits and land use applications for transient rental accommodations. Existing permitted transient rentals will not be affected.
