Secretary of State Sam Reed dots the center of the dragon's eye for the 6th Annual Dragon Boat Festival held in Olympia. As the legend goes, once the dragon's eyes have been dotted, the dragon then comes to life. How appropriate for the 32 boats that raced across the waters of Budd Inlet early Saturday morning. St. Martin's University hosts the event every year and has seen a dramatic increase in community participation over the years.
