PORT TOWNSEND — Bernie Del Valle of Port Townsend waves a peace flag Thursday as part of the No War protest along East Sims Way near Kearney Street in Port Townsend.

Del Valle said it’s one of at least three flags he obtained from the Syracuse Cultural Workers, which he described as a peace group in Syracuse, N.Y.
