Sign of the times: HollyFrontier Refinery
New signage at HollyFrontier Puget Sound Refinery

A refinery established in 1958 as a Texaco plant has transitioned to new ownership, as evidenced by signs erected last week declaring a welcome to “HollyFrontier Puget Sound Refinery.” The change in ownership of the Anacortes refinery took place officially on November 1, 2021. Operations continue with the same workforce.
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.
