Commercial Avenue became “Corvette Alley” for a few hours today as proud car owners gathered at the north end of town in conjunction with Shipwreck Day. Among the five dozen-plus classic vehicles was a white beauty owned by Don of Anacortes. Another, leading a “five generation” row of Corvettes, was a gorgeous red and white ’60 model owned by Dwayne Mitchell of White Rock, British Columbia. The show was organized by Dave Overton of Corvette Alley.
A fourth generation Skagit County native who was moved kicking and screaming from this island community in 1960. I finally reclaimed an Anacortes address in 1980, and I have been in constant celebration of my return since that time. Many of us who call Anacortes home love Fidalgo Island for its natural assets: among them are rugged beaches, pristine lakes, thousands of acres of forestland and some awesome views of the Skagit Valley and surrounding islands. Another element of my love affair with this community is its people, both natives and immigrants. They will “star” in many of my journal entries.
