<p>In the early part of the 20th century, Anacortes was Skagit County's main fishing port. Salmon, halibut, and cod were plentiful, and the waterfront was lined with plants which canned, dried, or salted the fish.
This photo shows the Anacortes waterfront sometime between 1912 and 1920. The buildings of the Apex Fish Company, a salmon cannery, are in the center of the photograph.</p>
