Julie named Town Crier

She is a familiar face to many, a performer with a strong resume (and voice) including Anacortes Community Theatre and the Port of Anacortes. She is Julie (Johnson) Nester, just named official Town Crier for the City of Anacortes. Julie’s appointment was announced by the Anacortes Sister Cities Association (ASCA), which has partnered for years in support of the town crier role. Past criers include Judy Jewell, Richard Riddell and August Wolff. Julie brings unique experience to the post, having substituted several times for Town Crier Riddell. Her first official gig as Town Crier will be the Anacortes Chamber of Commerce Christmas tree lighting.
