Ship Harbor, home of the Washington State Ferries Anacortes terminal, is an amazing stretch of island real estate. In the top photo, I stood on the beach near old pilings to shoot a photo of an incoming ferry. The second photo shows a shoreline trail defined by split rails. Another ferry photo shows neighboring Cypress Island in the distance, and the last photo stars a few folks out for a morning walk with their dogs. Cypress is reached by private boat or plane.
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.
