Scenes from Sunset Beach

After sharing picnic pizza and brownies, our evening included a playground adventure, rock-skipping and (for three of those in our party) some exercise on the Loop Road in Washington Park. I stayed behind and talked with Yuri Yotov and his sister, Mila. We weren’t the only ones with the Saturday night picnic plan. We saw several people from church (baseball was on the list of activities for both the Rices and the Jenkins), and there was the usual entertainment at the boat launch. We talked about the fact that we are second generation picnickers at Sunset Beach. Very weird to think of our dads as infants playing in the surf, tracking sand into the car and back home to their bedrooms. We know our kids love the beach, too, and then there are grandchildren … that’s four generations, if my math skills serve me correctly.

About Photographer Steve Berentson

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.
