Thirsty Tuesday - Anacortes, WA

Spring 2008


Anacortes is on Fidalgo island in the state of Washington. Anacortes is known for the Washington State Ferries dock and terminal serving Lopez Island, Shaw Island, Orcas Island, and San Juan Island, as well as Victoria, British Columbia (via Sidney, British Columbia) on Vancouver Island.
The name "Anacortes" is a consolidation of the name Anna Curtis, who was the wife of early Fidalgo Island settler Amos Bowman.
These photos were taken at The Brown Lantern serving Anacortes since 1933.
