It was Senior Night Friday, February 16 when the Anacortes High School Varsity Boys Basketball team faced Blaine for the final regular season game. Support was strong, as evidenced by these photographs, including cheerleaders and band members who provided a boost at every game. Members of the undefeated Girls Varsity team also stepped onto the court at halftime to demonstrate considerable dance skills. With a victory (68-59 in overtime), the boys earned the privilege of hosting the first post-season game on Tuesday, February 20.
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.
