The Downtown Anacortes Alliance (The Alliance) was recently awarded $3,000 to support a mixed media visual library project from the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation. The total estimated project cost is $4,000.00. Funding in support of this project will allow the Alliance to begin work building a photo and video library highlighting the historic Anacortes central business and residential area. The Alliance Board of Directors will be introducing the project to local businesses, property owners, and individuals who may be interested in the benefits of sponsoring this creative visual project. The project will be ongoing throughout the month of June 2022.

The newly formed Downtown Anacortes Alliance, a designated 501(c)3, has recently received official recognition by the Washington State Main Street Program as a designated affiliate of the Main Street America program.

Made up of small towns, mid-sized communities, and urban commercial districts, the thousands of organizations, individuals, volunteers, and local leaders that make up Main Street America™ represent the broad diversity that makes this country so unique. Working together, the Main Street America Network helps to breathe new life into the places people call home.

Main Street empowers communities to set their own destinies. While revitalization is challenging work, the Main Street program offers a road-map for locally-owned, locally-driven prosperity. Across the country, thousands of communities have used the Main Street Approach to transform their economies, leverage local leadership, and improve overall quality of life.
