Before the fall: 2013
As you can see from this photo taken in 2013, this Campbell Lake barn was on its way out. Today it has collapsed. The barn was an “old friend,” a reminder of days gone by on many trips to and from Anacortes.

Ace of Hearts Creek
This April 2009 photo was taken at Ace of Hearts Creek on the south side of Anacortes, just off “H” Avenue. This creek once ran through the back yard of my childhood home on 33rd Avenue. It was the source of many wonderful hours of play and “exploration,” a rich part of my childhood.

2009 reminder of National Guard training
A search of photo archives provided this reminder that the National Guard makes disaster response a regular part of their training routine. This drill sponsored by the Air National Guard took place in Anacortes in August 2009. A caption read: “Camouflage gear and decontamination suits caught the eyes of passersby on “M” Avenue Friday as […]
