It was April 2008 when renowned Northwest sculptor Gerard Tsutakawa and his team delivered “Annie Curtis” to her new home at Cap Sante Marina. The artist stayed “up close and personal” during the entire delivery/unveil process.
Cap Sante Marina hasn’t always looked like it does today, as evidenced by this November 2015 image from Cap Sante. The “hole” in the harbor was filled with new floating concrete docks. Many other improvements have been made to this beautiful public facility by the Port of Anacortes in recent years.
This group photo was taken in July 2008 at the “Focus Fidalgo” Pier One project groundbreaking hosted by the Port of Anacortes. This project, which also involved the state Department of Ecology, was vital to a series of major upgrades at the Dakota Creek Industries ship yard on the Guemes Channel.
Scenes from Opening Day of Boating Season 2013, hosted by the Port of Anacortes at Cap Sante Marina. There was no 2020 event due to COVID-19 restrictions on public gatherings. Activity on local waters is starting to pick up, however. Sunny blue summer days have an amazing power to draw folks out.
The Port of Anacortes Summer Concert series was a new concept in 2009, when this photo of a crowd gathered to hear the Paperboys was taken near the Cap Sante Marina boat launch.

It was already closed and literally on the way out, but this 2009 photo shows tiny Wyman’s Marina (previously Robinson’s) on the Guemes Channel in Anacortes (white buildings). Part of the privately owned marina was disassembled by this time, and ultimately demolished as part of a mitigation project by the Port of Anacortes. The blue […]
