A celebration for one of the North Olympic Peninsula’s “crabbiest” residents is on tap this weekend.
The Dungeness Crab & Seafood Festival concludes in Port Angeles and Sequim today.
The event is being called three events in one because it features a festival at John Wayne Marina, the Port Angeles Crab Derby at City Pier from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and a North Olympic Peninsula Restaurant tour across the area.
Officials from 7 Cedars Casino and Clallam Transit will provide free shuttle service to the festival because there is no parking available at the marina.
Shuttle service will be from 9:45 a.m. to 7:15 p.m. from 7 Cedars Casino, 270756 Highway 101, and from three locations in downtown Sequim — Lehman’s Court, 145 E. Washington St.; Seal Street next to the Sequim Open Aire Market; and from a parking area next to Blake Sand & Gravel, 490 S. Blake Ave.
Admission to the festival is free.
