Thank you to the Anacortes American for writing a great front page story about the Downtown Anacortes Alliance!

Read the story online, and if you don’t get the American, subscribe to our hometown paper.

We are working with over 30 downtown businesses to invite our neighbors to try more businesses, and to enter folks who visit 5 businesses between Dec 10-20 in a raffle to win prizes provided by local merchants. Our goal is to invite our neighbors who are already downtown to walk into more businesses while they are there. We hope everyone finds a new favorite.

On October 22, 2022, we completed our first volunteer-led Building Inventory focused on the buildings on Commercial Ave in Downtown.

A group of 12 volunteers reviewed each building on commercial (and some prominent buildings off of commercial) to assess the state of design, maintenance, accessibility, and pedestrian friendliness.

We will use this inventory to:

• Identify small near-term improvements,
• Create a record of the current state of downtown so that we can checkpoint improvement and change over time.
• Set priorities for future work from the design committee.
