Sunshine broke through right on time for the Depot Garden Art Fair in downtown Anacortes this weekend. The fair continues through Sunday. Check out artist Dennis Cant’s work.
Garden Art prep
Light landscaping was underway Friday in the space next door to The Depot Arts Center, where the Farmers’ Market will soon open its 2008 season.

Train conductor
One of my favorite Bill Mitchell murals is this one of train conductor Walt Miller. The mural is mounted on the side of a building adjacent to the old Anacortes Depot, a building once used by Tommy Thompson to house his narrow gauge locomotive and cars.
Madrone grove
Some time when you’ve got a few minutes, take a walk through the madrone grove downtown by the Depot Art Center. City plans call for development of a park in this area, but it’s already a beautiful place to relax. Don’t miss the pond adjacent to the effluent plant.

The building stands just to the north of The Depot Art Center at the historic site of the […]

Depot Art Center
With ornamental trees in full bloom, this is a particularly beautiful time of the year to visit the Depot Art Center at 7th and R Avenue.
Interpretive center
Work continues on a new interpretive center located between the W.T. Preston sternwheeler and The Depot. The depot was abandoned years ago by Pacific Northern Railroad. The Preston was decommissioned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Anacortes was named recipient in a grant process.
