Bay as racetrack

Bluff trail wonders
An early morning visit to North Beach at Deception Pass Park put me in a mood for adventure, so I took a trail I’ve never walked before. I was alone from beginning to end — a wonderful hour of discovery. The trail, which leads from the North Beach parking lot toward West Beach and the […]

The late Bill Mitchell, artist and historian, will be memorialized on May 3 with a virtual celebration of Bill Mitchell Day in Anacortes. I think this photo of the muralist posing for a “selfie” dates back to the Eighties. Click Bill Mitchell for details.
