MILLS

 

As early as 1888 lumber mills were a part of the way of life in Anacortes. Over the years there have been many types of mills, such as sawmills, shingle mills, box mills, lumber, pulp and even plywood and veneer mills. These mills provided a mainstay for the citizens of our town although many operations succumbed to the raging blaze of fire. The last mill fire was in 1992, which signaled a final end of an era of industry that lasted over 100 years on Fidalgo Island.
