“Anacortes
Middle School musicians strutted their stuff in the 2003 Lions Christmas Parade, marching on Commercial Avenue adorned in Santa hats. Music is an important element of community parades, and we had plenty of music thanks to this band and the Anacortes High School marching band.”
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.
