Anacortes, Mt. Vernon and Rural Skagit Weather
 

The Pacific Northwest offers mild seasons. Winter can consists of some snow, this year approx. 6-8 inches in accumulations down in the lowland areas--with excellent skiing at Mount Baker, about an hour's drive away. Many snow parks can be found within 45-60 minutes from town--great for those folks who like to snowmobile. Winter is mostly a time where you will dress in sweatshirts or sweaters and keep a pair of rubber boots in the car, just in case! Spring is lovely in the valley--tulips and daffodils gracefully adorn the fields--again sweaters and a rain-slicker may come in handy, especially in April! May through the first part of July you'll see a lot of blue skies but prepare yourself for the occasional rainy day--August and September are the prime months for those of you who might enjoy sun bathing! Sometimes up through the first two weeks of October you'll see a lot of folks still adorned in the summer clothes. November and December tend to be rainy, mostly mild--sometimes the first of few snowy days might appear. 

Of course, if you're in Anacortes you are a part of the "Banana Belt"--it seems to always be blue skies on Fidalgo Island! They say that the island receives about 19 inches of rainfall on the westerly part near Washington Park, and for every mile you go to the east--"up river"--you pick up about an extra inch of precipitation per year.
