Page Introduction

News and updates

The News page should read like an editorial newsroom rather than a generic blog. Each update should answer three questions: what happened, why does it matter, and what is confirmed? That structure is especially important here because the hotel proposal sits at the intersection of planning, public interest, resort identity, and the long-running push to make Friday Harbour more active during winter and shoulder seasons.

Why this page matters

The news page should function as an ongoing public briefing.

It should turn complex updates into concise stories while keeping the four-season resort question visible in every major article.
