Anacortes WashingtonA Natural Destination |
Surrounded by water but connected by bridge, Anacortes offers island living with easy accessibility. Follow Highway 20 (part of the Cascade Loop) off Interstate 5 to Fidalgo Island and this waterfront community of 12,000. A deep water working port since the early 1900's, Anacortes has a rich maritime history. Century-old buildings and an extensive collection of historical murals decorate the city. Stroll the historic downtown and enjoy a unique collection of antique and gift shops, as well as dining establishments.
Ideally situated within the rainshadow of the Olympic Mountains, Anacortes enjoys more sunny days and much less rain than Seattle, and is a popular spot for camping, kayaking and bicycling. Enjoy natural amenities such as the many acres of Community Forestland, freshwater lakes, beaches and parks.
Miles of waterfront give visitors panoramic views from every shore with Mount Baker and the Washington's Cascade Mountains to the east and the San Juan Islands and Canada to the west.
