Anyone aware of any affordable creative classes, hobby groups, positive self defense classes, or other healthy distractions?

I need to get myself out of bed and not wallow in seasonal and political depression, but other than the gym or kids courses at the library I cannot find any affordable outlets. I am not already particularly skilled at anything to join a meet up lol.

Anacortes as homebase for family trip

Hi everyone, apologies if this is a repeat topic -- didn't come up with anything in the search

I'm looking to plan a family vacation somewhwere in the PNW in summer 2026 -- access to both Seattle and Vancouver is preferred as some of us hope to attend one or two World Cup games

Our crew is seven adults (mid-30s to mid-60s) and four kids (ages 3-5) and I'm looking to find a good mix of hiking, water/boat activities (e.g. whale watching, kayaking), culture (food, music, art), and access to urban places -- we'll have a mix of folks that lean outdoorsy and those that do not

Anacortes is the leading candidate -- any thoughts on a week based in Anacortes and having a good mix of things for a variety of interests?

Broadband internet near Lake Campbell

Does anyone know what broadband internet options are available along SR 20 and Campbell Lake Road? I've tried entering the property address in the service finders for Xfinity, Astound broadband, Ziply Fiber, etc and nothing is coming up. I would prefer not to go the Starlink route. Thanks!

Does anyone volunteer with any active mutual aid groups?

I’m trying to find local mutual aid groups to volunteer for but what I’ve found so far are mainly outdated on Facebook. Does anyone work with any local/regional mutual aid groups they would recommend?

Take Out Pizza

I am from Bellingham and today and tomorrow There is a high school Regatta down at the harbor. I need to bring pizza to the harbor for my sailors for lunch. Other than Domino’s, what would be a good pizza takeout place that could handle an order for 30 people. These are teenagers so we don’t need artisan pizza, just the traditional pepperoni, Hawaiian, meat lover. Any help you folks can give me would be appreciated. None of the pizza joints in town are currently open or else I would do the research myself by calling. I figured I’d reach out to my Reddit friends.

Moving a Boat

I’m going to be moving a large boat soon and have hired Associated to do the move. They charge a day rate and I am only moving from the Oak Harbor Marina three miles. Looking to see if anyone else needs to move a boat soon we can schedule the same day and bring down cost.

Anacortes marine surveyors?

Does anyone know a trustworthy marine surveyor in Anacortes?

I’m in process of purchasing a sailboat out of Cap Sante Marina.

I’d love to find a surveyor with sailboat expertise.

Thanks for your help!

Velomobile

I have questions about the orange velomobile I’ve seen around town. Can you get one around here? What does it cost? What’s it like as a daily driver, if it is even used as such? How does it do in the rain?

Living in Anacortes

For those of you who are transplants to Anacortes, what has your experience been like? I'd love to hear your stories: what led you to moving and what do you like and dislike about living there now? If you have kids, please share what the adjustment has been like for them.

For context: My husband and I are considering relocating with our two young children, and want honest opinions about what it's like. Our jobs are flexible as we both work in healthcare. We currently live in the NW in a city where air quality is becoming a big issue for us because we have an immunocompromised child and two of us have asthma.

I know everyone is different but I think hearing more perspectives and stories will help inform our decision making.

Thank you in advance!

Wanted: Room for Rent

Moving into the Skagit Valley area, starting a job in Burlington, in the back half of September, and looking for accommodations in the Skagit Valley area.

Looking in the areas: Arlington to Bellingham, Anacortes to Sedro-Woolley. The closer to Skagit Regional Airport, the better.

Looking to rent a room in a house, or a small studio.

Profile available on Roomies. DM for details or contact info.

As a temporary alternative, while I’m looking for a place, would be willing to rent an off-street parking spot for a few weeks to a month. Hopefully won’t take that long, but not getting a lot of hits or responses from inquiries elsewhere, so posting here in hopes of pointers or suggestions.

Drivers in Annacortes?

Are there any driver services in or near Annacortes?

Is anyone an Uber or Lyft driver looking for a bigger gig?

I am hosting a small event on Guemes Island and my guests are traveling from out of town. I am hoping to make my guests' lives easier by providing transportation to and from the exit of the ferry to my venue just a few miles into the island. This will be a small family event, no roudiness or noise. The driver would only be needed for a few hours in the afternoon and a few hours in the evening and not throughout the event and I would cover the cost of entering onto the ferry and leaving at the beginning and end of the day!
Does anyone know where I could find more info, or is interested?

Thanks so much!

Best pub trivia in town?

Hey there 👋

My partner and I are moving to Anacortes and are wondering who hosts the best pub trivia in the area? We prefer something a little more competitive and crowded if possible!

Thanks

Dog-friendly Date Ideas

Hey y'all. My wife & I live in Anacortes but commute almost daily to work in La Conner. I'm trying to think of a dog-friendly fun day or night out I can take her and our fur baby on. Can I hear your ideas?

No farmers markets. We work at those often, so it'd feel less like a date and more like a job at that point lol.

Clothing donation

Hey all! I used to drop clothing off in the boxes at The Market or West Marine. Now that they’re gone can you suggest an alternative? Thanks!

Maker space

Hey everyone, moving to the area soon and was looking for a maker space, have discovered there is not one nearby. What would the level of interest be from anyone here? What would it need to have? How much monthly would you be willing to contribute? Thanks

I used to help run one as a 501(c)3 in another state and could set one up here if there is sufficient interest. Otherwise I’m just going to rent a place and set up my own shop.
