Skagit Publishing Celebrates 125 Years
Please join us in celebrating Skagit Publishing's 125th anniversary and our new facility on Anderson Road.
Tragedy in Alger
A community mourns. The scope of Tuesday’s tragedy can’t easily be measured, but signs of Skagit County’s grieving are surfacing in piles of flowers and notes scribbled with condolences.
Deluxe Recycling
The good, the bad, the smelly? The Courier-Times takes a look at a variety of viewpoints regarding the Deluxe Recycling and Disposal proposal in Sedro-Woolley.
Anacortes School Bond
The Anacortes School District is asking voters to approve a 20-year $62.9 million bond in a special election Feb. 19. The bond will renovate Anacortes High School and Mount Erie Elementary School and build a new maintenance facility. The bond request is almost identical to the $59.8 million bond request that failed in April 2007. Read about what the bond will buy in a series published by the Anacortes American last year prior to the April election.
Skagit Warming
Much of the scientific literature on global warming approaches the subject from a worldwide perspective. The Skagit Valley Herald brings you an 8-day series looking at how climate change could impact our own communities — our economy, shorelines, farms, forests, wildlife and water supplies.
Skagit Economy
Trying to pin down the current state of the local economy is like shooting at a moving target. But the Skagit Valley Herald staff has produced a series of articles that represent our best effort at snapshots of where we stand as 2008 comes to a close and an uncertain 2009 looms.
