Plan your day with morning coffee from your deck, overlooking the natural and animated marine activities of the Washington State Ferry landing and a dynamic vista of water, islands, and sky.

Walk from your front door to Washington Park’s two-mile loop road; row with a crew from the Old Anacortes Rowing & Sailing Society (OARS for short); track nesting raptors with the Audubon group; bike ride along Padilla Bay or through Skagit Valley’s tulip fields; gather with quilting or book group friends; do a little maintenance work on your boat; stop by Marine Hardware for a new fishing lure; or pick up some local crab or shrimp for a long, leisurely dinner watching the horizon fill with a red, pink, and golden sunset.

Of course there’s always the freedom to simply stay home with a good book and your own spectacular views (while the Portalis Homeowners Association keeps your yard looking lush and tidy).

Surrounded by water yet connected to the mainland by a bridge, Fidalgo Island offers the beauty and convenience of coastal living, the security of a small community where neighbors watch out for each other and the intimacy of a vibrant downtown Anacortes. Plus, there's easy access to local shopping as well as the excitement of nearby cities. It’s a hard combination to beat.
