YOUR DOGS, YOUR RULES
Complaints from park users, and most
interestingly, other dog owners, regarding off
leash activities of dogs and their owners are
on the rise here at the Park. Please remember,
your dog needs to be on leash at all times
here at the Park, and everywhere else in
Anacortes (excepting our two dog parks,
of course). It does not matter the size, the
friendliness, or any other traits your dog has.
Leash the animal. Simple.

team carefully remove all box juice straw wrappers, and any other trash that signaled the end of your
gathering from the Park.
FEEDING THE ANIMALS
Another reminder to please stop feeding the animals here at the Park. They don’t need your help, and
it simply habituates them away from their native wild. The expectation in the eyes of the deer, squirrel
and birds out here is starting to really mess with the minds of our human visitors.
FINALLY, THANK YOU
Washington Park would not be here with almost 100 years of community support. On behalf of all of
us who have previously worked here, currently do so, and in the future will, thank you ever so much.
Managing this park is a gift I am thankful for every day. All the best to you and yours, and remember to
come out and visit your Park.

Anacortes Arts Commission projects
continue…..
Poetry is the topic of recent art installations at Cap Sante
Marina and Washington Park. Poetry by regional writers Jean
Hollingstad, Gary Keister, Sam Green, Bob Rose, Thelma
Palmer, Nancy Pagh, Robert Sund and Stephen Roxborough
was selected last fall as part of the Word Waves community
poetry project.
Anacortes artist Daniel Paris created a beautiful wooden
sculptural piece around Hollingstad’s poem. Carved from hard
wood, intricately carved sea birds and shoreline detail wrap
around the engraved poem. It is hung on the south wall of the
Harbor Master’s building.
Gary Keister’s poem is an excerpt from a larger poem about
Anacortes, “Sebastian-Stuart Fish Company”. It was hand
painted by an up and coming Anacortes artist, Paige Rosson,
on a plate attached to a repurposed metal bow thruster donated
by Dakota Creek. The installation, near the main boat ramp,
references working aspects of the Marina.
Washington Park will soon be installing engraved poetry
on wood in several locations. The remaining pieces are on
traditional signage at the two locations within the park.
Children were able to get involved in making their own art
recently at the Arts Festival at a booth sponsored by the Arts
Commission. Hundred of kids were able to create a marbled
piece of fabric with the assistance of artist Marius Hibbard. The
Commission would like to thank Marius for making this happen
again this year and also a hearty thank you to the volunteers
who helped at the booth.
Donations are still being sought from the community to help
with the placement of the sculpture “Aerie” by artist Merrilee
Moore, to be placed in the roundabout on Commercial Avenue.
If you would like to contribute, please call the Anacortes Parks
and Recreation Department at 360-293-1918. To those who
have already donated, we thank you.
The Arts Commission has had great success with the monthly
art shows at The Depot, located at 611 R Avenue. The shows
coincide with the monthly artwalks (6-9 pm on the first Friday)
and then continue onto the following Saturday (10-3 pm).
Thank you to Karla Locke for the coordinating and placement
of the art installations. These shows are always free and the
public is always welcome.
If you would like to become involved with an Arts Commission
project, please call us at 360-293-1918.
