It was a game of two halves Friday, October 12 when the Anacortes High School Seahawks faced the Blaine Borderites. Despite a strong first half and a thrilling series that tied the game late in the fourth quarter, AHS Homecoming hopes were ultimately dashed by a Blaine field goal with three seconds left on the clock. Coach Charlie Bell, staff and fans had plenty of reason to be proud of their team, which started strong and then in the fourth quarter responded with a touchdown to 24 unanswered Borderite points. Final score: 27-24.
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.
