Sue Krienen was named Business and Professional Woman of the Year on October 22 at the 25th Annual SWAN banquet at McIntyre Hall in Mount Vernon. The Skagit Women’s Alliance Network (SWAN) extends this honor and announces scholarships each fall. Krienen, who is manager of the Shell Puget Sound Refinery, is pictured here with other 2009 nominees including Stephanie Hooper and Susan Duffy. She is also pictured with 2008 SWAN Woman of the Year Jan Ellingson.
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.
