Saturday morning window shopping in downtown Anacortes yielded a few pleasant surprises, including art by James Rea (top photo, from window of Scott Milo Gallery). The colored glass balls are in the window of Maison et Jardin, as is the display reminding us that spring gardening is just around the corner (not this weekend, honey). The fourth photo simply beckons one inside the Star Bar Cafe for a morning respite from the grind.
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.
