Visitors could tour the facility, with 21 rooms designed to house up to 39 residents in the 19,000 square food building.
While the facility isn't ready for occupancy yet because it hasn't received final state approval, developer Lanney Wixson said he expects to have ten residents ready to move in by the end of this month.
The facility drew criticism, particularly from neighbors, when the plan reached the Planning Commission and City Council. Neighbors were concerned that traffic on K Ave, where the facility is at the end of the street, would hurt the community.
The Lighthouse Memory Care facility is the first of its kind in Anacortes. Several other facilities exist in Skagit County, however.
