Fidalgo's landscape is as varied as it is beautiful. Mount Erie, rises 1300 feet to provide breathtaking vistas to the east and west. Two square miles of public forestlands at the center of the island are dotted by fresh water lakes stocked with fresh game fish. And, miles of coastline present a variety of faces...from spectacular, soaring cliffs to walk-out beaches. Capping this natural drama is the Deception Pass Bridge that separates Fidalgo from Whidbey Island. The incredible views from this landmark attraction, and the adjoining full-service campground, have made it the busiest park in Washington State.

Fidalgo is also home to four major marinas, making the area homeport for thousands of sailing and power yachts. Golfers can enjoy the links at Similk Beach or one of several other courses within easy driving distance. Or, there are a myriad of other recreational opportunities for all ages, interests and skill levels. These include hiking, kayaking, sport fishing, whale watching, bird watching and much more.

Today, approximately 15,000 people are permanent residents of Fidalgo Island. They've arrived from New York, Florida, California...and all parts in between. With their arrival, the quaint, waterside town of Anacortes has developed to meet the needs of its new community. A full array of services are now available, including a regional medical center and adjoining clinics. The new Anacortes Library is a state-of-the art literary center. And, Old Town specialty shops, antique stores and art galleries are bursting with activity.

Fidalgo Living just keeps getting better...and better. We hope you'll take this opportunity to explore our web site and our wonderful island.
