Lovely LaConner

Although city limits lie on the Skagit County side of the Swinomish Slough, LaConner is joined to Fidalgo Island via the renowned Rainbow Bridge. If you take Reservation Road from Highway 20, you travel through the Swinomish Reservation to the bridge. Homes pictured here lie on the Fidalgo side of the bridge. LaConner is a popular attraction for tourists, history buffs and art lovers. It is home to the Museum of Northwest Art and the Skagit County Historical Museum, as well as a number of shops and stores. Among waterfront features are the Salmon Bridge, “covered” by a beautiful salmon sculpture. There is also a marvelous art piece titled “Oh No, Not Again” by Pat McVay. LaConner: a great neighbor.

About Photographer 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.
