One of the longest tenured employees at the Port of Anacortes is Jenkins Dossen, Project Manager. Dossen, who has worked for the Port since May 2003, was named Port Employee of the Year for 2019. The award stated in part: “The Port of Anacortes is a better organization due to Jenkins’ treatment of each day as a gift, his attitude toward continuous improvement and his genuine pride in knowing that the work we do will only further the Port’s mission toward excellence.” (Photos from Focus Fidalgo environmental cleanup project in 2008)
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.
