A number of factors including sunshine and a pent-up desire to gather in groups once again have breathed new life into communities including Anacortes. Businesses were busy up and down Commercial Avenue, with activity spilling over the The Depot and Cap Sante Marina neighborhoods as well. Featured here are a few examples of that activity, including some from the Anacortes Farmers Market.
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.
