Washington Park, Anacortes, WA, USA
Beautiful views of Guemes Channel and Burrows Bay as seen from Washington Park and also the park's famous leaning tree (one of Washington state's most photographed tree) in the historic town of Anacortes on Fidalgo Island in Skagit County, Washington, USA during our trip on Sep. 3, 2011.
Washington Park is located on a peninsula at the western tip of Fidalgo Island. The 220-acre city park features camping, a boat launch, and day use picnic sites. The park juts into Rosario Strait on the western edge of Anacortes, offering territorial views. A scenic 2.3-mile one-way loop road winds through the park's forested hills and meadows with views of the San Juan Islands and Olympic Mountains. The park offers sweeping views of Guemes Channel on one side and Burrows Bay on the other.
At Sunset Beach, on the north shore, there is a boat launch, restrooms, reservable picnic shelter, playground and open play area. There are 75 campsites, restrooms, showers and laundry services in the overnight area. Picnic sites and car pullouts provide beach access along Green Point, the west shoreline. The loop road is used by cars, joggers, bicyclists and walkers.
Anacortes is the gateway to the San Juan and Vancouver Islands. Downtown Anacortes has over 125 life-sized murals painted by local resident Bill Mitchell. He painted the murals over the last 25 years from historical photographs. His art is on display all over Downtown buildings with depictions of historic scenes. Pick up a free mural map at the Visitor Center located at 819 Commercial Avenue as it is a wonderful way to discover Anacortes.
Anacortes is located 18 miles west of Mount Vernon and about one hour drive from Bellingham to the north and Seattle to the south.

H20 in Anacortes Washington, The Largest Draught Beer Selection in Skagit County
This is a short from the series Tales from the Taproom, a production of the Washington Beer Commission.
The Washington Beer Commission is the first of its kind commodity commission in the United States, was formed in 2006, when the Washington State Legislature authorized the creation of the Beer Commission to promote the state's microbreweries.
Washington's breweries, many of them small and family owned, are integral parts of their local communities. When you choose to buy beer brewed in Washington, you support businesses that in turn contribute generously to charitable organizations that support a host of worthy projects in all corners of the state.
Simply put, Washington produces some of the finest beer in the country and our new Beer Commission will help spread the word about these wonderful products. Our microbrews emphasize quality and flavor, and are a signature product of the Evergreen State. And our renowned hops, barley and wheat are the perfect premium ingredients for the nation's best craft brewers.
Join the community of Washington Beer Lovers, in celebrating FRESH, LOCAL, AWARD-WINNING craft beer produced in our state.

SAN JUAN ISLANDS GUEMES ISLAND WASHINGTON
Guemes Island is a small island in western Skagit County, Washington, United States. It is located north of Fidalgo Island and the town of Anacortes, and is accessible by both private boat and by the Guemes Island ferry operated by Skagit County.
Guemes Island was named after the Viceroy of New Spain, Juan Vicente de Güemes, who commissioned an expedition that revealed the islands to Spain in 1794.
Kayaking to Burrows Lighthouse, Anacortes WA
Burrows Island is located south and west of the Anacortes, WA, ferry terminal, separated from the mainland by a quarter-mile wide channel that's placid at slack tide, but which has white water tidal rips on the flood tide. Water floods in from the Straits of San Juan to the south, hugging Whidbey Island, then separates and pours westward around both sides of Burrows Island and Allen Island, forming intense rips. On the west end of the island, add some contrary wind, and the swells can get pretty big near the lighthouse. Be careful and time the tides here.
The lighthouse is a ghostly place that's been decaying since 1972 when the light and fog horn were automated. The signs on the keeper's house say that there are rotting floors, lead based paint and bats in the place. It once was beautiful, but is now being reclaimed by the wind and rain.
Discovery Heights, Washington Coastal Secret. Video.wmv
