Bob’s Chowder
Published May 21, 2009 / by Steve Berentson
Bob’s Chowder fans are excited to see his new digs on the south end of Commercial Avenue. The location is new, but Bob Atterberry has been cooking delicious meals for customers for many years. The exterior of the building features bright murals by Anacortes artist Bill Mitchell. Stop in or pick up your order “to go” at Bob’s Chowder Bar and BBQ Salmon, 3320 Commercial Avenue.
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.
