City’s 125th birthday: 2016

A new twist on an old American tradition was a July 3, 2016 celebration at The Depot in downtown Anacortes, celebrating not only the Fourth of July but the City’s 125th Anniversary. The family friendly event featured patriotic music, a “cry” by Town Crier Richard Riddell, fun and games and a brief review of American history by Mayor Laurie Gere. The mayor thanked staff and other volunteers for their contributions to making this weekend event a reality.

About Photographer Steve Berentson

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.
