The Skagit River plays a very big role in life here in the valley. Transportation; electricity; salmon; irrigation; and more are centered around the river.
The early days of white settlers along the Skagit River are chronicled here quite well, in the Skagit River Journal.
Traveling along and across the river affords some good opportunities to capture images, from time to time. These are some recent images, some over the last few years of journeys.

Such glorious photos of the beautiful Skagit. My step-father’s land backed onto the river big thanks for reviving many happy memories.
The Skagit is beautiful!
