An enthusiastic crowd showed up Wednesday at a sun-splashed Seafarers’ Memorial Park for the kickoff of the 2024 Summer Concert Series hosted by the Port of Anacortes. First up on this year’s summer lineup were The Naughty Blokes, who seemed to enjoy the evening as much as their audience. Mt. Baker stood out in all her splendor and sailboats moved back and forth on the bay behind the stage. The next outdoor concert at Seafarers’ will be Saturday, 6 p.m. Admission free!

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.
