A varied residential area spans from Commercial Avenue westward toward the San Juan Island ferry landing. It is a handy location, convenient to business and city services. The medical community of Anacortes is located within this region and includes Island Hospital and the surrounding medical practices. The Anacortes High School occupies a high point of land with football stands taking in a commanding view. A handsome, recently constructed Senior Center and the Fidalgo Pool and Fitness Center are also nestled within this area. A portion of this region is bordered by the Anacortes Community forest Lands and enables residents' easy access to trails and preserves the close-to-nature spirit of the Anacortes Community.
