A beautiful Sunday morning gave way to rain in the afternoon, but that didn’t stop thousands of bikers from rolling into Anacortes for the 2024 Oyster Run. Among those who traveled from a distance was Harley Davidson owner Laurie, who lives in British Columbia. Laurie nicknamed her 2008 Heritage Classic “Norma Jeane” in honor of the late Marilyn Monroe (born Norma Jeane Mortenson). Other photos include The Priesthood, a Christian biker group.
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.
