Distributed at a February 4 tourism marketing event in Anacortes was this small lapel pin (still posted on delivery card) featuring the state’s new tourism logo: “Washington The State.” A couple of years back the tagline “Say WA” survived only a few months. What do you think of this idea? I’m thinking maybe a series of humorous ads contrasting OUR Washington with the Washington populated by politicians.
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.
