Tuesday night was an exciting evening for Island Hospital staff, administrators and commissioners, many of whom participated in “guided tours” of new facilities at the new Medical Arts Pavilion. Participating in the ribbon cutting were hospital CEO Vince Oliver, Mayor Dean Maxwell and hospital commissioners Laurie Gere, Jan Iversen, Dr. Chip Bogosian and Dr. Paul Maughan.

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.
