Another great Anacortes Christmas parade!
Thanks once again to the Anacortes Lions Club for sponsoring the annual Christmas Parade in downtown Anacortes! There was some competition for viewers with a state championship football game happening the same day in Seattle, but perennial parade participants showed up in holiday colors. Those in the crowd lining Commercial Avenue enjoyed not only watching the parade but scoring on treats ranging from candy to toy cars. (See AnacortesToday Facebook page for more parade photos and a video or two)
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.
