Businesses in Skagit County can pick up free “Welcome Back Skagit" signage for their retail space at the Anacortes Chamber of Commerce, located at 819 Commercial Ave, the Image360 office, located at 789 Chrysler Dr. in Burlington, or the Burlington Chamber of Commerce located at 520 E Fairhaven Ave. in Burlington.
“I am happy to continue this initiative to give back to the Skagit community and provide support to businesses that may still be recovering from the pandemic,” said Anthony Asp, owner of Image360 Burlington. “Two years ago, as a community, we came to a full stop, experiencing uncertainties none of us could have ever dreamed. While some of us made it through unscathed, many Americans and small businesses did not. We learned that we could lean on each other and demonstrate in times of uncertainty, we stay strong and we give together.”
The “Welcome Back Skagit” campaign, formerly known as “Staying Apart, Giving Together,” started in 2020 when many businesses began to close due to pandemic-induced challenges. Image360 remained open as an essential business because many businesses were in need of COVID protocol signage. They wanted to partake in work that could benefit the community as a whole and help struggling businesses.
In 2013, Whidbey Island residents, Anthony and Tina Asp opened Image360 Burlington. Their passion is to work with each client to maximize the creativity and visual impact of their company branding through custom signage, vehicle wraps and graphics, promotional banners and more. From the initial consultation, through design and installation, the Asps are committed to exceeding customer expectations, while delivering value added product.
