A great parade, and a great crowd for the 2010 Anacortes Women of Today Independence Day celebration. Lots of characters, some pictured here. Muralist Bill Mitchell, promoting the July 17 Work Boat Races; Bro Paul, motorcyclist/pastor; Chuck Landgraf, MG owner; veteran John Tursi. More photos later.
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.
