Shoreline jewel

I took a stroll the other day along the wonderful public trail at Ship Harbor, adjacent to the state ferry terminal. A visit to this recently “developed” shoreline access area is a must, especially for those who call Anacortes home. Ship Harbor, after all, is the original location of development by white settlers who would ultimately incorporate as Anacortes. Prior to that it was a prime tribal fishing site. As noted on the entrance sign into the wetlands area: “The goal of SHIP is to protect the wetland and marine ecosystem, to educate students and the general public about the delicate wetlands, and to provide appropriate public access to the shoreline and natural areas at Ship Harbor.”

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.
