Port ‘jobs mission’ includes maritime work
Protective boom tender
Cargo ship at Pier 2 on the Guemes Channel
Exporting dry bulk cargoes is the primary use of Port of Anacortes Pier 2. Short term moorage for barges and other vessels is also available. This pier features: truck access, truck wash facility and stationary ship loader. Pictured here Friday is the Atlantic Ruby, taking on a shipment of petroleum coke. In the foreground is a boom tender crew. Other local jobs associated with this cargo include longshoremen and truck drivers.
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.
