Looking Back
Morning at the Market
Spring sunshine graced the Farmers Market on the courtyard of The Depot in downtown Anacortes.
Flora & fauna
Skies were gray yesterday afternoon, but I wisely opted to take a brief walk at Ship Harbor, a beautiful city park adjacent to the state ferry terminal on the northwest corner of the island. Colors were bright, the aroma of wild roses heavy. I enjoyed the music of tiny songbirds, and the familiar call of […]

Worth the walk
This clump of Indian Paintbrush was on a roadside bluff, no shoulder to pull over. I found a place, walked back. One of my favorite spring images.
New sushi bar
Sushi chef Joon has actually been at work here for several weeks, but I just discovered his sushi bar, a new feature at Teriyaki Time on 11th Street in downtown Anacortes. I’ll be back to share some new adventures in sushi. Joon also offers vegetable options for those so inclined.
Cabana opens 2nd season
Anthony’s Cabana played a tasty part in today’s Opening Day of Boating Season event at Cap Sante Marina. The Port-sponsored kickoff event culminated with an invitation to enjoy a free bowl of chowder at the Cabana’s convenient walk-up window.
Harbor paddle
This young woman was focused! I barely got out of the car before she had moved to water’s edge and pushed off for a paddleboard excursion at Seafarers’ Memorial Park. Celebrating the sun in downtown Anacortes!
Clear vision
Mt. Baker drew me outside. Eagle eye here was enjoying the view looking north over Fidalgo Bay.
Robotics program riding high

Johnson was given the opportunity to share news about the Robotics program, which involves local students from elementary through high school. The highly successful AHS […]
