Parade with Us July 4th

Do you love hometown parades like I do? Have you ever wished you could be in the parade? If so, come on out and join me and the Hagen for Assessor crew on Independence Day, Monday, July 4th, in beautiful Anacortes. Even if you don’t want to be in the parade, come on out and enjoy and cheer us — and all the other participants — on.

July 4th is a day we celebrate the arrival of summer here in the PN Wonderland — with gatherings of family and friends, enjoying some of our favorite summer treats. I hope some of those treats include enjoying some of the delicious bounty of our dedicated and hard-working Skagit County farmers. It’s a great time for our farmers’ markets. If you need to find one, here’s a handy list of markets and farm stands.

Also, amid the fun and revelry, let’s not forget that July 4th marks Independence Day. If you’d like to take a moment to read the text of the Declaration of Independence, you can do that by clicking the button below to go to the National Archives.

Happy Independence Day, friends! We hope to see you on the parade route!
