"Assorted Preserved Older Buildings" Anacortes Off The Beaten Path Tip by glabah

If you get off the beaten path in Anacortes, you will find that a number of the older houses near the downtown core have been well preserved, including all the intricate woodwork on many of them.

The bulk of these houses are close to the center of the commercial district, but away from the commercial center. For example, a walk through the area west of Commercial Avenue and north of 8th Street should yield quite a few older homes still in their original delicate woodwork and well maintained.
