Every spring hundreds of thousands of people come to enjoy the celebration of spring as millions of tulips burst into bloom.

This Isle of Guemes
February 19, 2011 at 10:10am • Created by: LineTime
This Isle of Guemes was originially published in 1973. Few copies remain and the binding of existing copies is disintergrating. Appreciating its value to those interested in Guemes Island’s early history, LineTime has re-created the book. A PDF version is available free (below) or print copies can purchased at Anderson’s Store and the Guemes Island Resort on Guemes Island or at Watermark Book Co., The Red Snapper or Pelican Books in Anacortes.
Mark Your Calendar for March 19 & April 16, 9am – 2pm. Thereafter the weekly markets resume.
