Nestled on beautiful Fidalgo Island...
Anacortes is a city of coastal charm surrounded by water sparkling like sapphires on sunny days, and featuring stunning sunsets. Quaint shops line the walkable downtown with a large art and music presence and still active working waterfront. The Washington State Ferry Terminal provides ferry access to the San Juan Islands and Victoria, B.C. Almost 3000 acres of preserved forest land within the city offers 50 miles of trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding through forest, meadow and lakeshore. Several city parks access saltwater beaches on Puget sound.
