New panels tell ‘Maiden’ story

Maiden of Deception Pass story pole at Rosario

First of four new story boards around pole

Four colorful new interpretive signs were installed recently at the “Maiden of Deception Pass” pole at Rosario Beach. The story of the Maiden is about the kinship of the Samish people and the sea. The pole was created by Fidalgo Island sculptor Tracy Powell. It was raised in 1983 by the Samish Tribe “to celebrate and honor traditions.” Type “Maiden of Deception Pass” in this site’s search engine to see historic images of the pole.

About Photographer Steve Berentson

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.
