June 1, 2020Aerial photo 1967
I received this photo from Lou Bergeson, a 1967 aerial of the area that includes March’s Point and the two refineries.

The Port of Anacortes Summer Concert series was a new concept in 2009, when this photo of a crowd gathered to hear the Paperboys was taken near the Cap Sante Marina boat launch.
New art, New Wilson: 2007

Eagle perches at Canoe Pass
It was 2013 when I glanced to the south cliff of Fidalgo Island from Canoe Pass Bridge and spotted this eagle. I have never seen an eagle on that snag since, so I am pleased to have this image in my archives.
