With the
surge west in the late 1800’s, and the large fishing industry
booming, the first cannery in Anacortes was opened in 1893. By
1915 eleven canneries were built along the Guemes Channel. Through
the years many canneries have come and gone and the last cannery
closed its doors in Anacortes in 1999. Come see our actual
cannery office transferred into the Anacortes History section of
the gallery, as well as other items from our cannery era. |

In the permanent exhibit section of our
gallery, you can go back in time and see the original office
once serving the Fidalgo Island Packing Company. This
cannery was the first salmon cannery built in Anacortes.
It was located at Ship Harbor and operated between 1894 and
1925. |
