Members of the Anacortes Fire Department take many opportunities during the course of the year to spend time in the community … from public school visits to parades and civic club events. It was a special night on Tuesday, August 1 when the AFD joined many other first response units from the area to mix with the crowd and conduct demonstrations. Many, if not most of those in the crowd were children, who came away with stickers, plastic fire hats and more. Kudos to the Anacortes Fire Department for all they do in this island community (and beyond!).
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.
