Window shopping marine style

I love spring mornings, especially the way the light plays on the windows of homes and downtown businesses, including Anacortes Marine Supply and Hardware. This store, owned by the Demopoulos family, boasts the distinction of oldest marine supply business on the West Coast. You can travel to the big city, but you won’t find window displays such as these on Commercial Avenue: windows with merchandise including old clocks, deep sea diving helmets, ship’s lanterns and even pelican weather vanes. Visitor or city resident, this classic store is worth the visit. For more info, visit www.marinesupplyandhardware.com.
