After several weeks of painstaking renovation, colorful artwork from the “Downtown Anacortes” sign on Commercial Avenue was re-mounted Thursday morning. Kudos to all involved, including Jamie’s Signs and John Lovric, the City of Anacortes, Dakota Creek Industries and the Downtown Business Alliance. Can’t wait for a “blue skies” photo opp, when the reburbished art will really pop!
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.
