The City of Oak Harbor posted this in the news section of its website on July 11, 2025.

Oak Harbor, WA, July 11, 2025 – Since launching at the beginning of 2025, The Wright Blend: Coffee and Conversation with Mayor Wright has offered residents an opportunity to connect with Mayor Wright and City staff by asking questions, sharing ideas, and expressing concerns about Oak Harbor. The Wright Blend has been held at local businesses and community spaces. “Each event is meant to connect the community, elevate the City’s partnerships, and support local businesses all while giving our residents a voice,” said Communications Officer, Magi Aguilar.

The next Wright Blend will take place in partnership with Main Street Association on Friday, August 22, at 4:00 PM before Buskers on the Corner, located on the corner of Pioneer and Dock in downtown Oak Harbor. Captain Nathan Gammache, Commanding Officer of Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, will join Mayor Wright for an open Q&A session with the community.

“We’re proud to welcome Captain Gammache to The Wright Blend,” said Mayor Wright. “His leadership at NAS Whidbey Island plays a vital role in our city, and this is a great chance for residents to hear directly from him and ask us both questions.”

As the event leads into the final concert of the Buskers on the Corner concert series, Mayor Wright also shared, “Buskers on the Corner has been a celebration of local talent and I’m honored to help close out the season with this very special The Wright Blend and welcome Captain Gammache. I encourage everyone to come out, ask the hard questions, and stay for the concert.”

Main Street Association will provide refreshments. The concert will begin at 5:30 PM, immediately following the Wright Blend event. For more information visit www.oakharbor.gov/thewrightblend
