    Simply Amazing!! The staff is extremely knowledgeable about all their animals and the level of interaction with the wolves leaves you speechless. A must do!!

    A wonderful experience and chance to learn more about wolves and their importance to our ecosystem. The wolves you encounter have been raised there mostly, so they have been around people. I cant recall if that's the case for the entire pack, but the younger ones, for sure.

    I'm surprised this doesn't have a lot of reviews! I came here twice in a year and I love how much the staff here care about the animals! I don't feel like this is a zoo. They take in exotic animals that can no longer be cared for and I truly believe they want what's best for the animals. They told us about the plans they had to expand so their animals can have more room. When I came back a few months later, they did exactly what they told us they planned on doing. They put their money right back to these wonderful creatures! I have a soft spot for Max! I snuggled right up to him and I felt safe the whole time!

    My wife and I took the trip there today and it was beyond amazing! Not only did we get quality time with the wolves and other animals, but we learned a ton about them. The entire process was not stressful at all and the amount of care focused towards the animals was apparent from the moment we got there. My only regret is that I've lived here for nearly 5 years and this was the first time I visited. I hope to visit again in the future and my wife and I will definitely be donating to their cause. (Oh that was another thing! I knew the price of admission was going to be a bit pricey... I mean come on you're getting a personal experience with wolves... but the amount of gratitude from the caretakers that we were there and spending that money on them was overwhelming. I've been to a half dozen zoos and I've always just felt like a customer. Here I felt like we got to be apart of something more.) I wish only that this place continues to succeed and the animals there get a quality life. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

    Amazing experience, I was ready and wanting to go back the next day. Although not really a true sanctuary.... this place definitely takes the best care of the animals that are there. Also, this is not a zoo, don't expect to be bringing the whole family with kids in tow. The wolves are hand raised wild animals and it is such an experience to get to spend time right next to them.

    Extraordinary place that shows the beauty, up close and personal of wolves and other animals you'd not be able to be so close to. A great organization worth supporting.

    Everything about this place is wonderful. Staff were knowledgeable and passionate about their jobs and as hosts, caretakers and educators of these animals. I was brought to Predetors of the Heart as a gift. A very special and unforgettable gift. The opportunity to see and interact with the wolves on this beautiful property was an experience I will truly remember. We were advised and educated about what to expect. We signed our waivers and were offered complimentary beverages and snacks. Then we were showed around and meet each and every wolf. Majority of the visit was spent with a mom and son wolf duo. Kakoa and Max. We received constant affection from these two and we enjoyed being loved, rubbed and having photos taken with these remarkable creatures. Hosts were professional and considerate. Completely loved every moment and would do it again in a HEARTbeat! (Pun intended). Incredible experience!!! Highly suggested! Bring family and friends!

    This is a review of the Anacortes Salvation Army's food bank service. They have many other services…read moreas well as church functions, but the food bank is the only one I've ever had experience with. It is open Mondays and Wednesdays from 1-3:45. You can come once a month. You can go in for bread, I believe, as often as you need. First, I would like to say that I really appreciate the people and the service provided at the food bank. They really help people who are down on their luck, so to speak, and need a helping hand to get back on their feet. The way the food bank works is first, you have to sign up. You do this by bringing in IDs and address verification (a piece of mail, for example) for everyone in the household. If you have children, bring in their birth certificates. The good thing is that once you are in their system, you stay in their system even if you do not go for a year here and there. It is all computerized. After you sign up, you come in and take a number from the table in the middle of the room and wait to be called. Once called, you sit down with the intake specialist who will ask you whether you need toilet paper, a bar of soap, dog or cat food, and anything else specific. They try to meet specific needs if they have it in the back. Once your order is taken, you go back and sit down (yes, there are lots of chairs) and wait for your name to be called by the workers in the back. They will roll your groceries out on a cart that you can use to take the food to your car. The Salvation Army is very disability friendly with chairs and carts to help people who can't stand very long or carry things very far. While you wait to have your number or your name called, you can browse the bread and produce in the front room and take as much as you need. There is usually a free table as well that has odd things on it or expired things that need to go right away. The Anacortes Salvation Army gets an A+ for helping persons in need with food and for providing a disability friendly environment. The workers are very kind and compassionate, make eye contact, and smile. I highly recommend their services to supplement your food if you find yourself in an emergency.

    The Anacortes 100 food bank is an excellent organization. I highly recommend it to folks who are…read morestruggling to meet their day to day food needs for themselves or for their families. Let's look at the basic fundamentals of how it works at Anacortes 100 food bank. First, you will show up once a week on either a Tuesday or a Friday from 10am-2pm. If you are new, next to the sign in sheet is a sign up sheet. Fill that out and give it to a volunteer behind the door. Rarely will a live person be out in the front to check you in. You will just sign in on the sign in sheet. Second, you will grab your bag of food. If you have a large family, they may give you two bags. Just ask how many you get if you are new to the program and have a large family. I have a family of 2, and I get one bag. Sometimes, they will have extra meat or dairy category additions, and a volunteer will ask you if you want it or not. This might take the form of milk, eggs, pork, or chicken. Third, after receiving your bag, check out the isle of bread and produce. Take what you can use. As far as I know, there is no official limit, but just keep in mind that there are others in line as well that need to have something to pick from. In other words, take as much as you need right now and not as much as your big empty freezer at home can take if you see what I mean. The produce is often past its prime, but it is sometimes usable. You just have to be dedicated to picking through it and be willing to cut off bad spots to eat the rest of the nutritious fruit or veggie. Sometimes there are extras also located on the two isles next to the food door, and you can usually take as much of that as you can use as well. The last example I remember is coconut water in several flavors. Fourth, there are shopping carts that you can take down to your car if you end up grabbing more than you can carry. Just be sure to return them, as there is no volunteers available to find and return missing carts. Once again, you can go once a week on either Tuesday or Friday. There is usually some special distribution for Thanksgiving and Christmas. For Thanksgiving this year, they handed out a food bag and a $25 gift certificate for meat at the local Safeway. What you are able to actually get each year for Thanksgiving or Christmas greatly depends on the funding they receive and the donations of local establishments. This may not be a thing you can count on next year, but I was blessed to have it happen to me this year. Thank you Anacortes 100!! Let's talk briefly about the line. It is usually longest in the morning when it opens as far as my experience goes. The line does not move very fast as there is really only enough room inside the small establishment for one or two clients at a time. Each client can take up to 5-10 minutes at times. This being the case, I usually come a little later than 10 so that I do not have to wait in the cold (more of a factor now in the winter). Last item I want to discuss is commodities. These are government surplus items that are given out once a month by the food bank. Usually this is an extra bag worth of food (at least it was in my experience so far, in truth, it probably varies in quantity). They give these out on the first Friday of every month. This is the only day that it might be worth trying to get there early as they do run out. I hope this post alleviates any fears of what it will be like going to the food bank and how its process works. At least, this is what I usually hated in going to new food banks was all the uncertainty of how to sign up and how it all works. I also hopes this inspires locals to contribute to this local cause through donations of food and money. It serves many individuals and families throughout Anacortes with basic necessities to get through the week with at least some food. Thank you Anacortes 100 for your good work!

We started at the home of some local nursery owners. Of course, we were expecting this garden to be spectacular but it was more than that. It was perfect, but not TOO perfect. The plant and flower varieties were incredible, as were the on-site greenhouse and potting shed. There was also eclectic seating throughout the garden, a fruit orchard in the back, and a beautiful dome-topped iron trellis onto which an apple tree had been trained. This was the first stop on the tour and it did NOT disappoint. The remaining 6 stops on the tour were all in Anacortes, about a 20-minute drive from the first stop. There was a very handy guidebook provided with our tickets, which gave detailed, turn-by-turn directions between each garden and provided an overview of what to expect at the next stop. From water features to sculptures, the gardens featured not just plants but lots of inspiration for my own garden. The finale was a breathtaking house overlooking neighboring Guemes Island, with a yard full of carefully curated sculptures and a deck with sweeping views of the sailboats down below. Many stops also included live symphony music played on-site, as well as (much needed) water stations as the day was very warm. Parking was challenging in a couple of the spots, but there were also plenty of volunteers and helpers on hand to help out. My only suggestion: would it be possible to have a local wine vendor pouring samples at each garden? I mean, it doesn't hurt to ask right? This was the first garden tour I've been on in several years, and I look forward to going again next year if at all possible!

    I went to the Humane Society of Skagit Valley a few weeks ago hoping to adopt a dog. The front desk…read morestaff was really friendly and helpful -- they took their time and pointed me toward some sweet dogs that seemed like a good match. While I was there, I noticed a little pug and asked about her. They told me she wasn't available for adoption. I could see why -- her butt was prolapsed and there was liquid poop and blood all over her kennel. She was panting, whining, and frantically trying to get out. It was really upsetting to see. I spoke with the manager, who told me not to worry, that they had it under control and the dog was fine. I left feeling terrible. I came back a few days later and the poor pug was still in the same condition -- prolapse, bloody diarrhea, the whole thing. She still looked miserable. I'm really concerned that they don't have the animals' best interest at heart. A prolapsed rectum is painful, and there was clearly blood coming from her. I just don't understand how a person could look at that and think it's okay to leave her like that. This experience has me seriously questioning the level of care the animals are getting. I wanted to support the shelter, but I left feeling heartbroken and worried. I'm still looking to adopt a dog, but after this experience I don't feel confident adopting from here.

I don't want to waste more time, I went to a different shelter where people know how to run the business. I got the cat!

The food is pretty good considering it's what most stores are throwing out I know what the people in back sift thru just to get the good stuff that they do. It's hard on them to get stuff that's good when they have lots of bad stuff to go thru and that's not all about of the time supply is the issue. They can't supply people with what they need if they don't receive it as a donation due to what little grants they receive. Helping hands deserves to get more I volunteer 6 days a week 7 to 8 hour days driving delivery and warehouse work. But could not get hired cuz they don't have the money to hire more people. That's why they rely on volunteers but they are hard to come by due to the many hours they are needed and the ton of work they are needed to do.
