Samish and other Northern Straits Salish peoples have inhabited the land in and around Anacortes for thousands of years. Permanent non-Indian settlement began in the 1860s. Anacortes was incorporated in 1891 with an economy based on lumber, fishing and fish processing, and farming. These industries thrived for many years before facing decline in the mid-twentieth century. Several oil companies selected Anacortes for refineries in the 1950s. Refining, tourism, residential and retirement housing, and commercial retail have come to dominate the local economy.
You know how I love pizza, so we stopped and had lunch at a place called The Pizza Factory, known for their hand tossed pizza. The pizza was Great! We were talking to one of the guys (didn't know he was the owner) I was telling him that I always wanted to hand toss a pizza and that was one of the things on my bucket list. We were getting ready to leave when he said are you ready to toss a pizza?? I said really! he said yes I want to make that happen for you!! I had so much fun and managed to keep it in the air and off the floor!! It's not as easy as it looks. It made me feel emotional to think he would be so kind to do this for me.
