Drawing his own share of applause in a recent parade of champions was Anacortes Police Department’s “T-Bone,” who retires this month.

Special parade for fall champions
A great turnout Sunday to celebrate the success of the back-to-back 2A Football Champion Anacortes Seahawks. Also on parade were State Champion Cross Country runner Dylan Rowell and young players from championship Anacortes Youth Football.
Duck duck goose
Sunshine drew me to Weaverling and the Tommy Trail. Among the birds I encountered were Canada geese and mallard ducks. I also saw two eagles, buffleheads, seagulls, kingfisher … and a seal. I highly recommend this walk.

The annual fund-raising event was held in partnership with the Anacortes Chamber of Commerce and the Port of Anacortes. Type “Christmas” […]
Celtic Christmas: 2011
A Celtic Christmas featuring Geoffrey Castle has become something of a tradition in Anacortes. This year Castle and friends performed at Brodniak Auditorium, but in the past most shows were held at the Port of Anacortes Transit Shed on the Guemes Channel. These photos were taken in 2011, when Castle’s guests included the Gothard Sisters.
