Great town, bookstore

I’ve lived in La Conner and the surrounding area for 38 years and continue to be thrilled by all the wonderful organizations here that support gardening, farming, land conservation, the Sunrise Food Bank, Kiwanis, Rotary and Soroptimists, to name a few. And the businesses here are unique and charming. We have a feast of restaurants here to satisfy so many tastes, fish from the sea, burgers, tacos, fine dining, ice cream, breakfasts and sliders. And coffee, the best anywhere.

My favorite place in La Conner is Seaport Books. Janna and company have been providing a beautiful space to wander the aisles, sit in a comfy chair, talk authors and series’ with the knowledgeable staff, walk out the door with a gem of a book recommended by Marion, for seven years.

I remind you; we are very lucky to have a bookstore in our small, sweet town.

It’s so easy, I know, to log on to Amazon and shop away for books. Voila! Delivered.

But think about it. You live in town, you live in Shelter Bay, you live on the Rez.

A short walk or drive to a magical spot on Earth. A real Bookstore. A great conversation awaits you, a new author is ready to surprise you. And, ok, parking is not the greatest in La Conner, so, call and order that book. 360-399-1800. Pick it up on a Monday, avoid traffic.

I’ll see you there, I hope.
