See “Looking Back” for glimpses of past
I want to encourage you to tap into the 20-year archives of AnacortesToday.com for classic images such as this one. Just look for the magnifying glass icon and type a subject into the search window (e.g. Bill Mitchell). This photo from May 2007 features the unveiling of artist Bill Mitchell’s high profile “salmon can” mural. Among those pictured at the mural unveiling are (l. to r.) Bill Mitchell, Port Commissioner Keith Rubin, Chamber of Commerce Director Mitch Everton and Island Hospital CEO Vince Oliver.
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.
