| La Conner |
Located on the Swinomish Channel that separates Fidalgo Island from the mainland, La Conner is fourteen miles from Anacortes. Aside from the shops and restaurants that are fun to visit, the town is worth just walking about.
Laura and I aren't strangers to La Conner, so you'd think after so many visits we would have seen it all, but strolling along the "Channel Passage" elevated promenade, or following the sidewalks of downtown, there is always something new to see if only you take the time to pause and see it.

Across the channel from La Conner is the Swinomish Indian Reservation. The docks are littered with reminders that many locals still make a living from the sea.

We stopped and had lunch outside at the La Conner Seafood & Prime Rib House. The service and the food were great, and the view awesome. What would have been the back of buildings facing the water has been brought to life with the "Channel Passage" promenade project. Visitors now get a sense of the town's connection with the water.

| Cute home in La Conner embedded in the business district. |
 |
| This place was fun because of all the vintage items they carried. |
 |
| This is literally a business that sprang up in a vacate lot. |
 |
| Laura and Dale can never just walk past a plant shop. |

Our son Sean, was an animator for the Disney movie Moana. One of the characters he animated is the Kokamora. This metal artwork reminded me of Sean, Moana, and the Kokamora.
