Sunshine and musical talent drew people by the hundreds to Curtis Wharf Saturday, Sept. 1 for the first full day of music at the 4th Annual Anacortes Jazz Festival. Pictured here are Jazz Committee Chairman Bill Berry and pianist Jessica Williams. Also featured are the stage and a passing sailboat, plus Steve the sound guy, whose team’s work was acknowledged by musicians and listeners alike.
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.
