Anacortes, Washington, also known as the “Gateway to the San Juan Islands”, is located in the heart of the Pacific Northwest on beautiful Fidalgo Island. Fidalgo Island enjoys easy accessibility to the mainland and I-5 corridor. It is connected to the mainland and Whidbey Island by bridge, and to the San Juan Islands and Sidney B.C. by state ferry.

A tour around present-day Anacortes reveals a city shaped by its lush forestlands and deep navigable waterways. Once home to dozens of canneries and lumber mills, Anacortes has always been an industrious town.

Anacortes is a charming and historically rich community that has been successful in maintaining its “small town feel”, while moving ahead into the 21st century. Residents and visitors alike enjoy boating, kayaking, bicycling, hiking, and other outdoor activities. More than 2,200 acres of pristine forest land features an extensive trail system, freshwater lakes, beaches, and parks. Miles of waterfront and a mountaintop vista afford panoramic views of Mount Baker and the Cascades to the East, San Juan Islands and Canada to the West, and the Olympic Mountain range to the South.
