New water treatment facility: 2011

Work whatever the weather

I respect those, like employees at Dakota Creek Industries, whose daily work includes weather challenges. I am grateful for those […]
One of a few
Housing starts in Anacortes are few and far between these days (most of 2009, for that matter). I took this construction photo last week in the San Juan Passage subdivision, located above the state ferry terminal on the west end of the city.

Contractors are working this week at the New Wilson Hotel on Commercial Avenue, leveling floors in street-level space committed to business leases.
