Sure, the boats are pretty, the food is tasty and the entertainment is enjoyable, but it’s the “people watching” that draws many people back to the Anacortes Waterfront Festival each year. Featured here are local characters including Town Crier Richard Riddell and mural artist Bill Mitchell, plus volunteers from the Kiwanis Club and the remote control boat organization. Good people. Good times.
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.
