112- Anacortes: The Gateway to the San Juan Islands
Manage episode 376904660 series 2967248
The only incorporated settlement on Fidalgo Island, which is separated from the mainland by the Swinomish Channel, the City of Anacortes may be found in Skagit County on the far northern tip of Fidalgo Island in Puget Sound. Anacortes is connected to the mainland and to Whidbey Island to the south by means of bridges that carry highway traffic. An extensive history of Samish and other Northern Straits Salish peoples' presence on the area in and around Anacortes dates back thousands of years. In the 1860s, the first non-Indians began making a permanent settlement in the area. In 1891, the city of Anacortes became incorporated, and its economy was initially built on the industries of farming, fishing, and the processing of fish. After a prosperous period of time, these fields began to see a downward trend in the middle of the twentieth century.
