LaConner

As I am writing this, the temperature has reached 100 degrees in downtown Glenville. Boy, this humidity and temperature are a far cry from our visit on Friday to LaConner, Washington. During the day of our visit, it was a pleasant 70 degrees with low humidity.

Situated on the delta near the mouth of the Skagit River, La Conner was founded in the early 1860's and is Skagit County's oldest community. Today, La Conner is a balance of people who work and live here, including the Swinomish Tribal Community, Shelter Bay residents from across the Channel, fishermen, farmers, artists, and carpenters - a diverse mix of cultures and educational backgrounds. If you need a place to relax and browse through interesting shops and art galleries, if you want to watch the waterfront or enjoy fine restaurants, inns and bed & breakfasts, then you will enjoy La Conner. La Conner is on the National Registry of Historic places



We treated ourselves to a lunch at the market and, as we dinned on the open deck, we enjoyed watching the boats passing by. Our crew all ordered ruben sandwichs and s bowl of prawn chowder. This was definitely a yummy lunch.






LaConner has many neat shops. There are sculptures located throughout the town. The arts community here is certainly active.


Here Mom and Judy are petting a bronze puppy. I am sure this pet would be low maintanence. There would be no brushing, walking, feeding, vet bills, or cleanup after this pet.

Let me tell you tomorrow about our life in a train on the beach!
