Even without a boat, one can enjoy Fidalgo Bay from the Tommy Thompson Trail, part of which lies along a path once taken by Burlington Northern Railroad trains. The trestle portion of the trail was once damaged by fire, but restored with funds that included community donations.
Junk company storefront now gone
Now falling into the “Days Gone By” category is this building that once stood behind Anacortes Marine Hardware and Supply. This business has roots dating to 1913.

A peek at new paint, Deception Pass Bridge
Featured here are “before and after” photographs of sections of the Deception Pass and Canoe Pass bridges, currently in the midst of a comprehensive maintenance, repair and paint project under contract with the state Department of Transportation. The spans will ultimately boast a new, shiny coat of green paint, as evidenced on the east guardrail […]
