Marina celebration

Several dozen people gathered under sunny skies Friday, May 16 for a pair of ribbon cuttings celebrating completion of major projects at Cap Sante Boat Haven. Pictured here are Port Commission President Bill Short; Port project leaders Becky Darden and Jenkins Dossen cutting a ribbon on the south end of the new marina esplanade; Port Executive Director Bob Hyde in front of the sculpture “Annie Curtis;” Anacortes Arts Commission representative Rita James cutting ribbon with Seattle artist Gerard Tsutakawa. In coming months the Port will celebrate completion of a new fuel float. Improvements are part of the Puget Sound Initiative, a program dedicated to cleaning up problem areas off Washington’s coast.
