 Driving west from I-5, halfway between Seattle and Vancouver, B.C., brings you over a bridge to the small city of Anacortes, Washington, anchoring the northern tip of Fidalgo Island.
The easternmost island in the San Juan archipelago, Fidalgo is linked by bridges from Skagit Valley’s verdant farmland to the east and Whidbey Island to the south via Deception Pass Bridge. |

And as home to the Washington State Ferry terminal, it’s linked by a scenic boat with the rest of the San Juans as well as with Sidney/Victoria, British Columbia. |
| Long a welcoming blend of entrepreneurial energy and natural serenity, Anacortes has evolved from native American roots to a quiet fishing village of canneries and lumber mills into, now, a sought-after destination. Today, the city serves an active community of about 16,000 people, conscientiously striving to balance its laid back pace of life with a growing population of retired, second home, and working residents. |
