Public beach project
Published September 25, 2009 / by Steve Berentson
Beach cleanup and area improvements including street resurfacing and sidewalks continue at the end of Commercial Avenue adjacent to the Port of Anacortes warehouse. A water line will be installed between the port building and “O” Avenue, providing improved fire protection for a facility that is often used for community events.
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.
