Anacortes is known locally as the
Gateway to the San Juans because it's a hopping off point for ferry traffic and pleasure boats going to the islands and Canada. For us, Anacortes is a destination in and off itself. It is one of those places, like Port Townsend, that we visit at least once a year.
We stay at the Cap Sante Marina which also provides dry camping for RVs and great views of the marina and boat traffic. The marina location is centrally located providing an easy walk into the historic downtown, and access to miles of trails for walking and biking. Shopping and restaurants are all easily accessible. We arrived just in time for the annual Art Festival which is a huge event bringing folks from far and wide. Plus there are weekly Farmers Markets providing entertainment and a great selection of sustainable produce. In other words, there seems to be a constant flow of activity in this vibrant seaside community.

We'll be leaving here by ferry returning to Port Townsend for our annual 2 week stay at our waterfront site at Point Hudson Marina.
