As our slogan suggests, Anacortes offers incomparable opportunities for recreation, thanks to its phenomenal natural setting by Puget Sound. Whether you like to sail, powerboat, kayak, bike, (all of which you can charter or rent) hike, or golf, you can do it all right here. If you prefer more leisurely activities such as shopping, we have everything from antiques to zithers, (along with cool clothes, great galleries, handcrafted items...) As you might expect from a place where people want to be, there is a tremendous array of special places to dine, as well as lodging, including B & B's, inns, hotels, motels, and R.V. parks.

The chamber promotes tourism and operates a Visitor and Information Center to answer questions and provide details about Skagit Valley and the many opportunities for nearby hiking, skiing, fishing, biking or just a casual walking along one of our many nature trails. Establishing partnerships with the business community, citizens and the city, the Burlington Chamber of Commerce and its many members are all sharing the vision, solving the problems and paving the path that will enable us the necessary tools in making for a better tomorrow.

You can enjoy winter recreation such as cross country skiing or snowmobiling, summer activities such as water skiing and swimming, lake and river fishing, hiking, mountain climbing, boating, rafting, birdwatching or just watching the clouds playing along the hillsides.

We're only a couple of hours away from city amenities in Seattle and Vancouver, yet you'll think we are in a different world.

Historic Oldtown and its Farmers Market is a delightful reminder of this pioneer port on the Skagit River. While Agriculture is still important, Mount Vernon has grown into a bustling center for all types of commerce, particularly the high technology industry. It is also the gateway to both the North Cascades and the San Juan Islands and has become a basecamp to some of the most exciting outdoor activities and adventures in the Pacific Northwest. Mount Vernon is truly . . . “The Best Small City in America.”

Membership includes retailers, wholesalers, service industries, manufacturers, industrial parks, banks, churches, nonprofit organizations and individuals.
