Gone but not forgotten
Many Anacortes residents and ferry travelers have fond memories of these two west side restaurants: Charlie’s and Billy Ray’s (once Compass Rose). Both restaurants have long since closed. Gone but not forgotten.
Oyster Run Anacortes: 2000
With Oyster Run 2024 now in the rear view mirror, I thought I’d dig into the archives for some oldies but goodies. These shots are from the Oyster Run in 2000. (Flag photo from 2006)
Anacortes Salmon Derby: 2010
What a great event, unfortunately short-lived. The Anacortes Salmon Derby, based out of Cap Sante Marina. Pictured here is 2010 first place winner Ralph Thomas, who won the $15,000 prize with a 27.48 lb. fish. Also pictured separately is derby organizer Joy Field. A labor of love!
Anacortes bowling king: 2005
Years ago, in a bowling alley close to all Anacortesans, Dave Storkson was a familiar face in this community. Storkson owned and operated San Juan Lanes and Stork’s Restaurant on Commercial Avenue.

Tugboat Kokua: 2007
Gone, but not forgotten: The tugboat “Kokua,” which I photographed in September 2007 moving toward Deception Pass Bridge.
