Bring Ol’ Blue Home to La Conner

Ol’ Blue is a vintage-style trolley bus that will be used to transport people to local events, running on special occasions to improve parking congestion and provide a welcoming passenger experience. Ol’ Blue is gorgeous with a fresh coat of exterior paint and a charming interior of all wood with bench-style seating. 

We believe Ol’ Blue will make visiting La Conner easier and more engaging.  If you agree, we invite you to help us reach our fundraising goal.  Our hope is to debut Ol’ Blue at La Conner’s annual 4th of July Parade.  Let’s make it happen together.
