Year in Pictures 2019
What a year it was! Images from 2019 on Fidalgo Island.
Icing on the cake
“Icing on the cake” of a beautiful December morning was this view of Mt. Baker en route to grab my morning paper.
School auction
This is a photo of the central portion of an artwork created by 3rd grade students at Fidalgo School for a March 5 auction. The piece, which is displayed at Starbucks with a handful of others, is titled “Eat, Play, Shop and Stay in Anacortes.” Needless to say, the Chamber of Commerce loves it. Fidalgo […]
Line in the water
It’s Saturday, it’s sunny and school’s out. A great time to grab a fishing pole and head for the beach. In this case, the rocks off Fidalgo Bay at the base of Cap Sante.
Moon over Fidalgo
Weather conditions have been great for photography the past few days, including Monday evening. This shot of a full moon was taken from the beach at Fidalgo Bay with the lights of Shell Puget Sound Refinery reflecting onto the water at the left.

This means that seeds are ripe – waiting to float through the air in cottonball-like clumps so new plants can be started. That’s the Tommy Thompson Trail visible at […]
Demolition begins
A heavy equipment operator took the first “bite” out of a building today as the Port of Anacortes kicked off a demolition and contamination cleanup project at Cap Sante Boat Haven. Demolition of buildings is required due to underground contamination that dates back more than 20 years. The cleanup will be funded in part by […]
Life on the hill
South Fidalgo Island boasts a more rural atmosphere, as evidenced by this home on the hill. Water, sewer and zoning are elements that keep the population down in this area.
Fidalgo shoreline
Those who enjoy the Tommy Thompson Trail also enjoy views like this one. This shoreline path is a special community asset.
Near Weaverling
This heron stands near water’s edge at the perimeter of Fidalgo Bay Resort. The city’s Tommy Thompson Trail runs through the resort on Weaverling Spit, and across the bay to March’s Point on an abandoned trestle once owned by Burlington Northern Railroad.
