Carnegie welcome
American benefactor Andrew Carnegie greets guests to the Anacortes Museum, which once served this community as a public museum. Carnegie built libraries throughout the United States. His funding in this city was matched locally. The mural was created by local historian and muralist Bill Mitchell.

Replacing blanks with library centennial bricks Thursday evening was former museum director Garry Cline. A 5 p.m. brick-laying preceded a Chamber of Commerce “after hours” attended by several dozen local business people.

It’s not really a loft, but I needed a short heading for this photograph of the Anacortes City Library interior as viewed from the top of the second floor staircase. It’s an amazing community asset. Check it out. 1220 10th Street.

Some of my best childhood memories revolve around “chapter books” and the exciting stories held within. Do yourself and your […]
Downtown housing
This new neighborhood of homes is just a block from downtown Anacortes, located on the long-vacant lot between Causland Park and the City Library. In a few months even more folks will call the area their home as public housing apartments will be made available in a renovated New Wilson Hotel on Commercial Avenue.
Sun sets on Election Day
Just a few hours remain in the day for those hoping to cast ballots on Election Day 2005. This photograph was taken inside the lobby of the City Library, where voters dropped off their mail ballots. Many candidates and supporters will watch election returns Tuesday night from the Gere-a-Deli restaurant in downtown Anacortes.
