It was a big day Tuesday for Island Hospital and those who have shared dreams since its inception in the Sixties. A public dedication and Open House were held in recognition of completion of the second phase of a major two-year construction and renovation project. Photos include Chef Darwin Anderson; project manager Marc Estvold. Honored guests (l-r) Paul Maughan, Commissioner; Laurie Gere, Commissioner; Buzz Ely, President of Board of Commissioners; and Bob Prins MD, Ob/Gyn.

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.
