Access Anacortes Fiber is in the design process to extend the city’s fiber network to the west side of town. As part of the process stakes are being placed along the street right of way. These stakes represent where parts of the fiber infrastructure will be placed during the construction phase. The planned infrastructure is designed to serve all residents within the geographic area. The deployment of fiber infrastructure will require some roadwork to extend the fiber through the west end neighborhoods. Questions can be directed to CJ Jones at Access Anacortes Fiber Internet, (360) 588-8300; or John Norris, the department’s Outside Plant Coordinator at (360) 770-4664. Orders are currently being accepted. You can sign up for Access, Anacortes Fiber Internet at fiber.cityofanacortes.org.
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.
