Where’s Waldo? In Grays Harbor of course! The iconic children’s book character in the red-and-white-striped shirt and black-rimmed specs is visiting twenty-five local businesses throughout our community this July. Find Waldo Local is a free, family-friendly summer activity and a wonderful way to support local businesses.
Beginning July 1, anyone who wishes to participate can pick up a “Find Waldo Local in Grays Harbor!” stamp card, which contains the names of all the participating sites; with each Waldo they spot, they can get their card stamped or signed by the participating shop. Waldo has also misplaced his glasses in Harbor Books in Hoquiam, so eagle-eyed hunters can find those as well! Collecting store stamps or signatures at businesses will entitle diligent seekers entry into a grand-prize drawing for Waldo books and other prizes.
