Anacortes, WALocal News

On November 6, 2025, a multi-vehicle injury collision at Sharpe’s Corner roundabout involved three cars and resulted in at least one serious injury. The at-fault driver, an Anacortes man distracted by his phone, crashed into another vehicle while traveling on Highway 20. His insurance had lapsed, and he received an infraction for this violation. Earlier that week, a woman reported a welfare check after falling asleep with water running in her kitchen, which led to a leak in the lower apartment. Another incident involved a tree falling on a house on 19th Street, where the homeowner was directed to contact insurance.

An officer also responded to a report of a slashed tire after a woman found a note on her vehicle. These incidents indicate ongoing safety issues in the community, prompting police response and public awareness. The Anacortes Police Department continues to address these local concerns as they arise.
