Thursday night’s Waterfront Festival poster unveiling seemed like the unofficial kickoff of the upcoming mayor campaign, with all four announced candidates (so far) in attendance. Incumbent Mayor Dean Maxwell was there, visiting with old friends including Tesoro Refinery Manager Dan Cameron and his wife, Chris. Rounding out the foursome were Mitch Everton, Brian Geer and Laurie Gere. Should be an interesting year!
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.
