The official subscription website of the Anacortes American
This newspaper's roots are older than the city itself. We respect that history and the support Anacortes residents have given to their community newspaper for more than 130 years. It's why we are still here. We aim to cover the stories that matter most to the people who live here. Though we only print one edition per week, the news doesn't wait for a printer. Check goanacortes.com often to keep up with what's happening in our city and all of Fidalgo Island.
Our small staff is dedicated to the tried-and-true principles of solid journalism. We recognize that the city council and school board in a small town has just as much impact on the city's residents as those in a large city. We aim to be fair, unbiased and transparent about how we get our information. Our journalism regularly wins awards from the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association and place for General Excellence three years in a row from 2018-2020. Last year, our small staff took home 21 awards for outstanding work.
