How exciting to see so many people gather for the 2024 Anacortes Veterans Parade in downtown Anacortes. Kudos to organizer Julia Simpson, her volunteer team and the many organizations so participated in the parade and post-parade event at Causland Memorial Park. And thank you, veterans, for your unselfish contributions to our nation and our allies around the world. See photos below this text.
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.
