The City Council Monday night approved what will be the last street repaving job of the year. Lakeside Industries was the winning bidder for repaving 34th St. from R Ave to V Ave.

You don't often get a chance to see Commercial Ave. in downtown Anacortes without any cars. But, Sunday, the street was open for bikers and pedestrians as part of the city's first Open Streets event.

A parade of antique machinery included a hop-on ride popular with the kids during the 19th annual Antique Engine & Machinery Show on Saturday.
