Anacortes Mayor Dean Maxwell cruised into a fifth four-year term Tuesday with an impressive 69-plus percent of votes tallied in the race against political newcomer Steve Sonnenberg. Maxwell is pictured here at a city Centennial event in 2005. Other local winners included Port Commission incumbents Ray Niver (56 percent), Bill Short (69 percent) and Keith Rubin (75 percent). Voters also boosted this community’s reputation for supporting local services, approving by a 75 percent to 25 percent margin the M&O levy for the Fidalgo Pool and Fitness Center.
