Correction
Information about parking in the article “Emerald in the alley brings outdoors inside,” (Sequim Gazette, Sept. 16, page A-7) was incorrect. According to Kim McDougal, owner of Blondie’s, the parking lot at Heritage Square is private and exclusive to its businesses 24/7. For customers of any other nearby businesses, parking in the Blondie’s lot may result in having their vehicles towed. Signs are posted.
