Classic cars cruise Commercial
It was exciting Sunday afternoon to stumble onto a gathering of classic car/truck owners on Commercial Avenue. They rallied in front of historic Anacortes Marine Supply & Hardware, leaving at 3 p.m. to cruise south on Commercial, around the Highway 20 roundabout and back downtown. Good stuff.

Can’t miss it
Between new paving and the eye-catching “circle” design, the city’s new roundabout is easily located from the air. The roundabout is located on the south side of Commercial Avenue, linking the main thoroughfare with State Highway 20.
Sign of times
By week’s end, motorists on Commercial Avenue will be dealing with a new challenge: a 15 mph roundabout at the intersection of the “spur” linking this city with Highway 20. This photograph was taken from The Store, looking north. Tentative plans still call for the street to re-open late Friday, July 24.
Rolling out
It’s a hot corner of town, in more ways than one. Wednesday morning found temperatures climbing while construction crews continued hot asphalt work on the roundabout at the intersection of Highway 20 and Commercial Avenue. Landscaping is underway as the project draws to a close.
Roundabout race
Crews continue to work against the clock in pursuit of completion of the roundabout at the south end of Commercial Avenue in Anacortes.

Circle work
Crews worked late Friday afternoon on the “roundabout” at the south end of Commercial Avenue in Anacortes. Businesses south of 32nd Street continue to suffer reduced customer traffic as the project detours traffic in and out of the city. Please consider making your way to shops and restaurants including The Store and Bob’s Chowder House.
Major change
Crews are working diligently at the south end of Commercial Avenue on a “roundabout” project that will dramatically change the driver’s experience at the intersection of Highway 20 and the city arterial. Work is scheduled to be complete by the first weekend of August, in time for the Arts Festival.
