The Anacortes Arts Festival (August 3-5) relies heavily on the help of volunteers. The pitch: “Volunteering is a great way to support the community, have some fun and show our visitors how friendly and welcoming Anacortes is. Whatever your talent or time, we’re sure we can find a perfect fit for you. We’ll thank you with a t-shirt (see the design here) – and volunteer appreciation event after the Festival. Grab a friend and sign up today!”
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.
