Toward the pass
Published July 22, 2008 / by Steve Berentson
I’ve been over Deception Pass Bridge countless times, but it’s wonderful to see the Pass from the air or the water. I had the opportunity last weekend to spend the morning with friends enroute from Oak Harbor to Anacortes. Lots of other boaters had plotted a similar course.
About 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.
