Anacortes native John VanDeusen, lead singer in The Lonely Forest, urges his listeners to “Turn Off This Song and Go Outside.” Click on the link above to see an MTV video produced to promote this song. You will recognize not only band members VanDeusen, Tony Ruland, Eric Sturgeon and Braydn Krueger, but scenes from Anacortes including the 2010 Fourth of July parade. Fun for all!
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.
