Salvation Army Red Kettles

One of the traditional sounds of Christmas in Anacortes is the ringing of bells at Salvation Army Red Kettles posted at numerous places in town. Pictured here is ringer Bill Mullin at Safeway. Look for the Salvation Army van at the community tree lighting ceremony, and again in the annual Lions Christmas Parade! And don’t forget to stoke the kettle if you are in a position to do so. This is one of the most important fundraising seasons for the Anacortes Corps of the Salvation Army, serving this city since 1906! (See Red Kettle link ad at the bottom of this page to make a donation online.)

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.
