By this weekend the community of Anacortes will be even more beautiful than it already is, thanks to the effort of the Anacortes Chamber of Commerce, the City of Anacortes and a team of volunteers. On Friday this crew installed beautiful hanging baskets on Commercial Avenue. With the trees and floral contributions of store owners and operators, this downtown looks gorgeous all summer.

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.
