Goldeneye and friends
Some migrate, some stay, some are visitors here for just a season … but where there is water you will always find birds! I believe one of the seabirds here is a Common Goldeneye. Not sure about the other. Both were paddling around just offshore at Seafarers’ Memorial Park on Saturday afternoon. Get out, bring […]

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 […]
