Vendors come from nearby Skagit Valley and as far away as Whidbey Island (Soggy Bottom Acres) and Snohomish County (Uprising Organics). It is the Anacortes Farmer’s Market, open each Saturday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. through the first week in October. “Just picked today” is a phrase often used at this market, which features an array of merchandise including fresh cut flowers, fruit and vegetables, seafood and baked goods. There are also vendors in an arts and crafts section with items ranging from photography to jewelry. Call Gloria Shelton for more information: 360.293.9404.
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.
