Window displays such as this one at Watermark illustrate the fact that Anacortes is home to several book stores. See www.anacortes.org and type in “books” to find details regarding downtown shops.
As Christmas draws closer, the level of activity grows in downtown Anacortes. There were lots of shoppers Thursday afternoon at Watermark Bookstore. Pictured here are Dave Taylor (left) and Nick Miller, part of a customer service team led by store owner Patti Pattee. Check out downtown Anacortes for those final gift challenges.
Like many downtown businesses, the Watermark book store “dresses in lights” during the holiday season. This photograph was taken from Commercial Avenue on the night of the community Christmas tree lighting and the 2006 Holiday Art Walk.
