The following are a few photos I’ve collected over the years. Images of Dr. Eugene “Bud” Strom, Anacortes native and civic contributor extraordinaire. Happy 90th, Bud!
A walk around Heart Lake (not the entire loop) Saturday yielded not only some exercise and time to reflect, but “pathway portraits” as well. Some of those are included in this collection.
This year’s Antique Engine and Machinery Show featured an exciting new twist … a parade of antique machines, featuring many of the steam units including a 1913 Case half-size tractor replica.
I took a stroll the other day along the wonderful public trail at Ship Harbor, adjacent to the state ferry terminal. A visit to this recently “developed” shoreline access area is a must, especially for those who call Anacortes home. Ship Harbor, after all, is the original location of development by white settlers who would […]
Dozens of volunteers committed a weekend day to the kids and families attending the 2012 Ready to Learn event, an annual “fair” at which back to school supplies, clothing and services (such as haircuts, health checks) are made available at no cost. The fair is co-sponsored by the Anacortes School District and Salvation Army Anacortes […]
What a great day for steamboats in Anacortes, Washington!

Also pictured here is volunteer Jon New (black T-shirt), cooking with buddies. The Peruvian musicians are still coming each year! Check out my […]
More than two dozen Lido 14 Class crews jockeyed for position on Fidalgo Bay Tuesday afternoon on the second day of a week-long regatta. Look for more action off the shoreline of Seafarers’ Memorial Park tomorrow and Thursday. Photo at the bottom is of students banging around close to shoreline.
Another beautiful evening on Fidalgo Bay for local sailors. To enjoy this sport vicariously, spend any Wednesday at Seafarers’ Memorial Park. Cap Sante is an excellent vantage point, too.
Morning cloud cover for those who needed it, and afternoon sun for those who like blue skies: 2012 Shipwreck Day in beautiful downtown Anacortes!
Musician Geoffrey Castle delivered big time on the evening of the Fourth as headliner at the Rock the Dock concert at Seafarers’ Memorial Park. Thanks to event sponsors … this holiday concert, like the fireworks show that followed, was free.
