EXCITING NEWS! Our town’s welcome sign is getting a glow-up! 🌟 The Downtown Anacortes Alliance is adding a fresh coat of paint. Starting today, December 5th, the welcome sign will take a brief vacation for a stylish makeover.

Here is a schematic from Jamie’s Signs for the updated colors. We are focused on keeping the existing beauty and character of the sign while increasing readability. Thank you to Jamie’s Signs for creating these schematics and supporting our town!
Special thanks to Anacortes Parks and Recreation,  and Dakota Creek Industries for taking such care in the removal and reinstallation of the sign! 🙌 

In 2024, the City of Anacortes will do additional work to repair the lighting and masonry on the welcome arch to keep it beautiful and welcoming.  We love how everyone in our town works together to make it a wonderful place to live!
