It was a campaign photo op for Anacortes Mayor Dean Maxwell (right) and County Commissioner Don Munks (center), but the walk along the former Burlington Northern railroad trestle on Fidalgo Bay also sparked childhood memories for both local leaders. Munks, descendent of a Skagit pioneer, recalled swimming out to wrecked boats just offshore. When the tide went out, the boats became exciting playgrounds for his siblings and friends. Maxwell recalled duck hunting with his dad, and buying smelt from “Tiny,” who netted the fish just north of trestle’s end on March’s Point. Pictured with Maxwell and Munks is Duncan Frazier, who has contributed his considerable talents to Maxwell’s re-election campaign. The trestle, which is the last stage of Tommy Thompson Trail along the Fidalgo Bay shoreline, will be open today (Monday) about 3 p.m. An official opening will take place in early November.
