“An informal survey of Skagit County businesses finds increased optimism
and a more positive mood about the economy compared to a year ago.”
“EDASC has enhanced its commitment to local companies and has been able to focus more time and energy on attracting companies from business sectors that complement our existing business community.”
As we turn the page on 2010, current signs and predictions point to a continued economic recovery that should produce greater business success in 2011 at a faster pace than 2010.
While 2010 saw muted economic growth, the economy was heading in the right direction. A number of Skagit County businesses reported positive growth- some of them are highlighted in these pages.
Prognosticators point to several signals that call for an improved economic climate: federal economic policies that were put into play should continue to have a positive influence; the extended tax cuts will provide additional fuel; the current state of the US dollar will enhance exports, particularly important to our export-rich state; an improved business confidence in an economic recovery; a rise in employment trends; an increase in car and truck sales; an upswing in general retails sales; increased factory output; an uptick in the housing market; a continued upward trend in the stock market; and an economy in the Pacific Northwest that is stronger and more stable than much of the nation.
An informal survey of Skagit County businesses finds increased optimism and a more positive mood about the economy compared to a year ago.
What all of this means is increased optimism and an improved economy with further success in 2011.
But, regardless of where the economy may take us this year, know that our promise is to assist, support and encourage your success in 2011.
Don WiCkExECutivE DirECtor
Once again, the Economic Development Association of Skagit County has lived up to its Mission Statement. We have worked hard to enhance the quality of life in Skagit County through the creation and preservation of healthy businesses and
good jobs.During these tough economic times businesses have survived by becoming leaner
and tougher. They have had to make difficult choices and adapt in order to “weather the storm.” Once the economy starts to rebound, these companies will emerge much stronger and will better be able to thrive in the years ahead.
It is important to point out that your EDASC Board is not only committed to provide opportunities to new businesses wanting to locate here, but EDASC also brings value to our existing members through the numerous programs that are provided to assist them throughout the year. EDASC has enhanced its commitment to local companies and has been able to focus more time and energy on attracting companies from business sectors that complement our existing business community. Our membership has continued to be stable this past year, and EDASC remains financially strong despite the financial cutbacks to our budget from both the State and Federal levels. This is due, in no small part, to stringent business decisions by the EDASC staff and Board, and also to your continued support of the networking events and educational opportunities that are so generously sponsored by you, our EDASC members and associates.
I want to personally thank the EDASC staff for their unwavering dedication. Throughout the year, they have endured a number of medical issues and personnel changes, all with a seamless transition. For that, the EDASC Board and I are truly grateful.
It has been an honor and my pleasure to serve as your EDASC president this past year. I ask for your continued support of EDASC and the great work it does for the people of Skagit County.

2 0 1 0 A n n U A L r e P o r tOur mission is to enhance Skagit County’s
quality of life through the creation
and preservation of healthy businesses and good jobs.
BUSINESS ASSISTANCESMALL BUSINESS DEvELOPMENT CENTER / BUSINESS RETENTION & EXPANSION – ECONOMIC GARDENINGThe Economic Development Association of Skagit County offers assis-tance to businesses through our Small Business Development Center (SBDC) and our Business Retention & Expansion (BRE) programs. Working to ensure the survival and growth of existing Skagit County busi-nesses is a vital part of EDASC’s mission for economic development.
EDASC’s business assistance programs are supported by the Small Business Administration through WSU’s SBDC Network, the Washington Department of Commerce, Skagit County, the Ports of Anacortes & Skagit, local city governments, Skagit County’s Public Facilities Fund and EDASC members. These resources allow us to provide one-on-one coun-seling sessions & other services to the local business community.
Business AdvisingThrough the SBDC and BRE programs, EDASC offers no-cost, one-on-one, confidential business advising for existing, expanding, and start-up businesses. Business owners and future business owners receive assistance with preparing business plans, creating financial projections, improving marketing techniques, analyzing financial information, buying and selling a business, or approaching a lender for a business loan.
In 2010, EDASC provided technical assistance to more than 200 cli-ents looking to start or purchase a business, expand their business, or improve the performance of their business. These programs assisted business owners secure financing ranging from $5,000 up to more than $1 million. The businesses assisted accounted for more than 700 exist-ing and potential jobs in the community.
Seminars & WorkgroupsIn partnership with Skagit Valley College, EDASC offers a wide selection of education seminars. Every month EDASC hosts a free class aimed at small business entrepreneurs and explores what it takes to start and finance a new business. The class has been extremely well attended as the demand has increased for start-up assistance. Additionally, EDASC has hosted a number of other sessions on a variety of business topics.
The response to the workshops has been very positive both in the terms of satisfaction surveys and in the continuously growing number of attend-ees. In 2010, more than 800 participants attended EDASC seminars and workshops.
Entrepreneur ProgramIn partnership with the Washington Employment Security Department EDASC provides start-up and expansion assistance to those individuals drawing unemployment benefits. The Program consists of an individually designed effort to help entrepreneurs at an affordable cost, and brings together the very best of EDASC’s resources including: one-on-one busi-ness counseling, technical assistance, educational sessions and work-groups to build business management knowledge.
LATINO BUSINESS RETENTION AND EXPANSION PROGRAM (LBRE PROGRAM) “EL PROGRAMA PARA LA RETENCIóN Y EXPANSIóN DEL COMERCIO LATINO”In partnership with Skagit Valley College, EDASC’s Latino Business Retention and Expansion Program is also supported by funding from the Small Business Development Center and a sponsorship from Bank of America. Since the program was established in 2004, it has assisted Latino business owners in securing over $2 million in loans. The LBRE Mission is to provide one-on-one business counseling and broad-based support for Latino entrepreneurs and business owners for start-ups and business expansion. We do this by providing access to capital, business education aimed at financial literacy, and support with strategic planning, marketing, resource awareness and networking.

2 0 1 0 A n n U A L r e P o r tAnacortes will build a new water treatment facility and closed a bond issue that netted $40 million in proceeds as the Build America Bonds received a 35% subsidy from the federal government. The $56 million project will create an estimated 1,000 jobs during the 2 ½ year construc-tion phase, which will begin in 2011.
The city of Burlington sought commitment from the Transportation Improvement Bond for two projects in 2010: $606,900 for improve-ments to Section Street and $84,531 for Anacortes Street sidewalks. Also, the Department of Ecology provided $104,563 for stormwater improvements.
Design and an Environmental Impact Study are underway on a planned boardwalk that will run along the La Conner Channel Waterfront from the Port of Skagit Marina to Pioneer Park. The $4 million 5 phase project will be ushered in beginning as soon as 2011.
The first phase in the Mount Vernon Flood Protection Project and Riverfront Trail was completed in late 2010. The $25 million project is set to create over 600 jobs in the first 5 years and over 1300 jobs within 15 years.
Sedro-Woolley purchased a ladder truck that now allows for increased building height in Sedro-Woolley. It now allows for larger and more produc-tive redevelopment. The truck was an investment of $800,000. Together with a new fire truck the investment totals $1.25 million. In 2010 the city rezoned Highway 20 from Metcalf to Township Streets to mixed com-mercial and in 2011 will build the infrastructure to serve it. In the last 4 years, Sedro-Woolley has seen the investment of $20 million in infrastruc-ture for economic development.
PORT INvESTMENTSThe Northwest Career & Technical Academy’s “Marine Skills Center” opened its doors on Port of Anacortes property in the fall of 2010. It provides technical training for students pursuing a career in the Marine Trade.
The legendary Anthony’s restaurant completed construction on a new 6,000 square foot restaurant on Port property at the Cap Sante Boat Haven, opening in early 2011.
Other projects include improving the safety and security of the Wymans ramp facility, Puget Sound Rope Expansion, the “O” Avenue Beach Remediation and the contaminated soil and debris removal at the Scott site shoreline excavation.
The Port of Skagit secured a $3 million grant from the FAA and a $55,000 grant from the State Department of Transportation to update runway drainage and received a $950,000 grant from the State for taxiway cleanup. This past year also saw a renovation to a restaurant building and a lease to the Kitty Hawk Café, a brand new restaurant at the airport. Also the Port completed the FedEx move to a renovated facil-ity at the airport and the Port moved the growing company, Impressions Worldwide into the newest building at the business park. They also began work on an economic opportunity plan.
REFINERY INvESTMENTSThe Shell Puget Sound Refinery is doing their part to lower peoples’ exposure at the gas pump. 2010 saw the culmination of the refinery’s Benzene Reduction Project, a three part mega-project that included over $100 million in capital investment, utilized nearly 350 local contractors and brought in materials from both global and local suppliers.
EDUCATIONNORTHWEST CAREER AND TECHNICAL ACADEMY The Northwest Career & Technical Academy Quall Center opened its doors in September 2010 to students from six Skagit County consortium member school districts and Skagit Valley College. The Academy delivers innovative educational opportunities to high school juniors and seniors in the Northwest.

SKAGIT vALLEY COLLEGESkagit Valley College once again earned national recognition as one of the best community colleges in the nation as Washington Monthly named Skagit Valley College #19 among America’s Best Community Colleges. SVC becomes the only community college in Washington State to receive that honor in both 2007 and 2010.
Laura Angst Hall, the $28 million, 65,000 square foot new Sciences & Health Occupation building achieved the highest energy certification by the U.S. Government Building Council – the first education building in Washington State to achieve Leadership Energy and Environmental Design, LEED Platinum Certification.
HEALTHCARESkagit County’s three hospitals are collaborating to develop a regional Health Information Exchange. Island, Skagit Valley & United General Hospitals have formed the Medical Information Network – North Sound (MIN-NS) to connect the three hospitals to provide electronic patient records, which improves quality safety and efficiency of patient care. Ultimately the goal is to connect the approximately 300 providers at 70 sites and the hospitals’ medical staffs to the network. Island Hospital is building a $10.3 million, 25,000 square foot two level building to house their growing Cancer Care Center, Physical Therapy Department, new Wound Care Program and added services. The facility is set to be completed in 2011. They anticipate a $400,000 investment to start a Mental Health Program, including the recruitment of a psychia-trist. Skagit Valley Hospital acquired Skagit Valley Medical Center to form an integrated health care delivery system now known as Skagit Regional Clinics with 100 physicians and health professionals. Total employment is now at 1,700, making the hospital the county’s largest employer. Skagit Valley Hospital became a teaching hospital in 2010 in affiliation with Pacific Northwest University of Health Services in Yakima. A dozen third year medical students started rotations in 2010. They will be joined by another 10 to 12 students in 2011. In the past 3 years, Skagit Valley Hospital has assisted in successfully securing nearly 90 new providers to the area. United General Hospital is updating their strategic plan with a new focus for the next three years. As of 2011, they brought the diagnostic labora-tory services in-house, creating several positions.

To hear Andy McDonald tell it, boat building is on the rebound in Skagit County,
where marine construction has been a tradi-tion since set-tler days.
“We’re actually grow-ing,” he says of New World Yachts of Anacortes, a high-end motor-yacht builder that, like the Phoenix bird, emerged from the ashes of North-ern Marine and refused to leave the old company behind, hiring back many employees with family wages and full benefits.
“We’re not afraid to try new things,” he continues. “We real-ized the importance of being lean and aggressive in the marketplace.
We’re willing to change and adapt and broaden our abilities — not stick to one thing.”
Not only lean but green, the company uses a process that has little waste and “one-off” construc-tion technology that shuns molds,
whether building yachts 57 or 150 feet.
McDonald, who worked off and on for Northern Marine during
its heyday early last decade when it employed as many as 300, decided to start his own company in
June 2009. The idea came to him when a long-time client asked him if he could finish a 64-footer the old builder had contracted to build.
“We saw an opportunity to start a new company and put some of these people back to work,” he re-

“Because of EDASC we received nearly $100,000 in tax
incentives that helped us get people back in the workforce.
EDASC’s support has been instrumental to our success.”

calls. “I knew it was a shoe-in to start New World, contract firmly in the back pocket.”
The Economic Development As-sociation of Skagit County (EDASC) worked extensively with the com-pany during their start-up and early development phase. McDonald says, “EDASC has been an incredible resource for us, providing vital as-sistance from business planning to hiring issues to tax information. Be-cause of EDASC we received nearly $100,000 in tax incentives that helped us get people back in the workforce. EDASC’s support has been instru-mental to our success.”
Putting PeoPle back to work
McDonald’s workforce quickly rose to 15 a year ago, and since has more than tripled.
“We have 50 of the best employees — a team of like-minded individuals,” he explains. “It’s a younger workforce with a lot of new ideas.” A total of 48 were rehired from the Northern Ma-rine rolls and two are subcontractors, “who are effectively full-time work-ers,” he adds. The company expects to employ more next year.
Bud LeMieux, who grew Northern Marine from infancy into a highly respectable international motor-yacht manufacturer, is still involved in the company, McDonald points out. Indeed, New World has been doing business as “Northern Marine” since the former owner reacquired all the assets last summer.
What stands out today is McDon-ald’s adherence to lean methodology and versatility, much of which he picked up working on the East Coast with Freedom and Legacy Yachts, a Rhode Island-based boatmaker.
“I spent a lot of time studying lean manufacturing when I worked on the East Coast. We did a full, lean imple-mentation, and while I was there, we
expanded production with a new boat completed every five weeks,” McDon-ald states. “We’re willing to diversify and not afraid to change or adapt.”
New World uses a green philosophy of reusing most of its building mate-rials through careful planning and a 5-axis CNC unit, with nearly all of the manufacturing handled right in the 46,000-square-foot former Northern Marine plant at 310-34th St., across from Bunnies By The Bay.
DiversifieD custom builDer
“We’re a full custom operation,” he says of New World. “We’ll build any-thing, from small boats to big boats and everything in between.”
Currently, New World is construct-ing sleek expeditionary or trawler-style yachts of 64 to 118 feet — in fact, there are a 64-, 95- and two 80-foot-ers on the manufacturing floor — all custom, full-displacement boats.
“We’re very active with a number of (potential) customers looking at 86-, 95-, 103- and 115-footers and another at 156 feet,” says McDonald. “I talk to these clients at least once every day.”
While all present negotiations are with U.S. customers — none of whom was disclosed by name or ability to pay — New World Yachts née North-ern Marine is now targeting global cli-ents from Asia, Canada and Europe.
The marine industry is full of skilled labor and a downturn as we’ve experienced it can put a lot of these highly specialized individuals out of work. That was McDonald’s incentive to start New World.
“Walking through the plant, it’s always good to see the smiles on the workers’ faces,” Andy McDonald states. “We’ve put a lot of people back to work and they’re happy to be here. Seeing the smiles and feeling the vibes — there’s a lot of positive attitude there.”

The prosperity of a sound econo-my has eluded us in recent years, but most of Skagit’s businesses
have risen to the challenge and can now see a way back to normality. A few companies may have closed their doors; but for the most part, the county’s manufacturing sector has come through these tough times with plenty of gusto and aplomb.
It’s that kind of pluck and vigor that we celebrate. New companies have accepted the risks of a down economy and come on line anyway, while others have taken a “wait and see” attitude but are not far behind in making the big decision. Old businesses scaled down to weather the storm but have begun again recalling their laid-off highly skilled workers, of which the county abounds. Still others have ignored “boom and bust” altogether to do their own thing, and with stunning success.
And speaking of success: Nowhere has there been a better example than witnessing the Anacortes-built BOR90 trimaran whip the upstart Swiss yacht-racing team last year to win back the 150-year-old America’s Cup. Perhaps that story is a good place to start. . . .
america’s cuP for anacortesBMW Oracle Racing last year suc-
cessfully brought home the elusive America’s Cup, the most prestigious
prize in yacht racing. While many on the team are New Zealanders and “home” is the Golden Gate Yacht Club in San Francisco, Anacortes and Sedro-Wool-ley played major parts in this global phenomenon.
Thanks to Janicki Industries along with site location assistance from EDASC, BMW Oracle Racing (aka BOR) chose Anacortes as its base to build its sleek trimaran racing yacht whose footprint takes up the area of a major-league baseball infield on water. Using its 5-axis mills and nearly twenty thousand hours of labor Janicki tooled the molds for the hulls, various append-ages, spars and the now famous wing, all of which required the utmost precision.
The BOR90 renamed USA-17 took on Alinghi of Switzerland, which won the famous cup in 2003 and successfully defended it in 2007, in a special “Dead of Gift” challenge. On February 14, 2010 USA-17 eliminated the Swiss, win-ning the first two races of the regatta held off Valencia, Spain.
The defender, now named Oracle Racing, has chosen San Francisco as the host city for the next America’s Cup re-gatta to be held in Summer 2013. Rac-ing will be held in San Francisco Bay featuring an exciting new class of 72-foot wing-sailed catamarans cur-rently under development. Alinghi has reported they will not participate.
Meanwhile, Anacortes, proud to be a part of the winning team, remains the
birthplace of USA-17, winner of the 33rd America’s Cup.
Janicki inDustries - all systems are go
One of the county’s most prominent and successful manufacturers, Janicki Industries, has weathered the economic downturn and is anticipating robust growth. According to CFO Lisa Janicki, “2010 started dismally, but by the fourth quarter our growth was so dramatic that we had our largest revenue year ever.”
Janicki, internationally renowned producer of large-scale, high-precision composite prototypes, parts and tooling, started in Sedro-Woolley in the early-’90s and has grown to become one of the county’s largest private employers. According to Lisa Janicki, the strat-egy for success has been to use down markets to increase company capacity and refine processes in targeted areas, positioning the company for growth when markets return.
Two years ago, Janicki opened a state-of-the-art composites manufactur-ing plant in the town of Hamilton. The facility includes twin proprietary 5-axis computerized mills that are among the largest and most precise in the world. During 2010, the company moved again to increase capacity, launching construction on a new facil-ity in Layton, Utah which will open in 2011.
2010: a year of successes, turnarounDs anD start-uPs
While 2010 presented restrained economic growth, there were numerous success stories in Skagit County. These successes included both large and small companies and both new and existing businesses. New companies highlighted in this section include: New World Yachts, Stellar Wood Products, Standard Biodiesel, Triton America, Anthony’s and Taquería El Milagro. Existing companies featured are: BMW/Oracle, Janicki Industries, Bayview Composites, BBC Biochemical, Pleasant Valley Farms and Impressions Worldwide. These companies all provided increased employment in our community and increased capital investment.
Jobs and economic growth

JI currently employs 450 people, and has hired more than 125 people over the past 10 months. It is in the process of hiring back many of its skilled talent pool, Lisa Janicki explains. “The Ham-ilton plant is packed with work, and we are hiring in Utah,” she adds.
Among Janicki’s projects are high-tech carbon-fiber aerospace tools, prototype wind energy blades and a variety of experimental parts for space research. Janicki’s well-known custom-ers include Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner division, and BMW Oracle Racing, which won the America’s Cup yacht race last year.
Here’s a stellar comPanySpeaking of niches, Stellar Wood
Products of Burlington has made a name for itself in the scaffold-manufac-turing field by making precision planks from wood products.
“Our company, under a private label, has produced scaffold planking and concrete-forming materials for about 10 years in Sumner,” says co-owner Andy Glenn.
Part of the company made the move to Burlington last year to be close to its supplier. It uses a special grade of laminated veneer lumber (LVL) it purchases from Pacific Woodtech in the Burlington Industrial Park. It runs it through a “unique machine” that cuts and certifies the planks, rejecting any that do not qualify during the millime-ter-by-millimeter testing it endures.
The other section works on industrial wood forms for major concrete-pour-ing projects. These LVL forms are used in retaining walls, parking garages and other large contracts.
“We custom cut them and emboss the customer’s name on each board,” Glenn states. The boards are even color coordinated according to the customers’ wishes to ensure their safe return after the concrete sets.
Stellar, which maintains the opera-tion in Sumner, employs 15 and has plans to expand and, with EDASC’s help, more jobs will be created at the Burlington plant.
frencH frieD fuels
One of the more successful compa-nies this past year has been Standard Biodiesel USA, Inc., which recycles
used vegetable oil into industrial fuel. Founder and vice president John Wick is very upbeat about the future of Skagit County.
“This is news that’s absolutely fabu-lous: We have recycled from restaurants in Washington state more than 6 million gallons of vegetable oil into fuel,” he enthuses. “That puts us as the largest recycler (of vegetable oil) in the region that works into the fuel business. Right in Skagit County!”
Started in August 2006 in Snohomish County, Standard Biodiesel relocated a portion of their operation to the old Lignotech plant on Farm-to-Market Road and now has the capacity to process and store 600,000 gallons and deliver it via its 18-car rail access. The company employs 30 persons, four of them drivers of the clean and efficient pump trucks that travel around to res-taurants and vacuum the spent oil from bins the company provides. It counts as clients about 5,000 restaurants in this state, 300 or so from the North Puget Sound area.
“We’re up 25 percent from 2009,” Wick continues, “in part attributable to our location in Skagit County because we’re able to process more oil and fuel more efficiently than in the past.”
Having expanded to Idaho where the company has another facility, as well as Northern California and Oregon, Standard hopes eventually to go nation-wide. Already it is one of the country’s first plants to operate solely on waste vegetable oil, and other companies are converting the renewable diesel to automobile fuel and many other uses as well.
“We’ve been having a great year,” John Wick exclaims. “Our numbers are up; our efficiency is up. We couldn’t be happier.”
multiPurPose tooling comPany
Bayview Composites found 2010 profitable, building tooling for a num-ber of industries including aerospace, marine and energy. A multimillion-dol-lar contract just completed at the end of the year involved epoxy resin tooling for 12 different kinds of blades for wind turbines.
“These were big tools — quite
impressive,” states Theodore (Ted) Ginsburg, an aerospace engineer who is involved in several businesses in Skagit County under his partner of 51 years, Thomas Hsueh (pronounced “Shay”). “Actually, 2010 was a very good year for us on the composite side.”
As Bayview Edison Industries, the firm produced yachts. But that market collapsed and, as Bayview Composites, the company changed direction.
“About three years ago, we started looking at other possibilities and began building tooling for wind-turbine blades. We got a pretty large contract,” Ginsburg explains. “In all, we built 12 sets of tooling for different-sized blades for turbines up to 140 feet. Each tooling can produce 1,000 or more blades.”
new Planes being DeveloPeDAnother business under Hsueh is Tri-
ton Aerospace LLC, currently develop-ing small executive aircraft at the Port of Skagit’s Bayview Industrial Park in the old Pacific Circuits building and an adjacent property on Westar Lane.
Ginsburg says the two planes — the A500, a twin-engine, centerline thrust, six-person aircraft, and the A700, twin-jet for seven persons — got their start at Denver-based Adam Aircraft. That company went broke, and following a short, unproductive stint as a Rus-sian-owned firm, sold off all its assets — equipment and tools that filled 120 40-foot containers — to Triton, which last year shipped them lock, stock and barrel to Skagit County.
“Our main task is to concentrate on the A500 and reduce the weight. We’re redeveloping the airplane and hope to have a prototype in 2011,” informs Ginsburg. A number of engineers are currently working on the project at Triton’s design office in Anacortes.
The A500 belongs to a niche market and will become a very marketable aircraft once the weight problem is resolved.
“We’ll be hiring more people once the aerospace industry picks up. We’ll be ready,” says Ginsburg.

South Mount Vernon from Snohomish County and began operations in a new state-of-the-art facility in mid-2007. With this move the company expanded its manufacturing operations and cre-ated a new R&D laboratory. Principally, BBC provides the health care industry with advanced biomedical reagents and technologies on a global scale. BBC President Adrian Biesecker says one reason for success this past year is diversity. The company has moved to supply products to new industries from textiles to semi-conductors. “We have been willing to diversify into any mar-ketplace that we can make better.” And Biesecker adds, “Our people make that happen. Having the right people that can guide the ship through these waters is vital. We have people that are very good at what they do.”
Pleasant valley farms to be more Profitable
Pleasant Valley Farms received a $150,000 loan from the Skagit County Council of Governments to help it ex-pand its pickle and sauerkraut produc-tion through the purchase of a pasteur-izer.
“Up until now, we’ve been mostly a food service company,” states spokes-person Karla Gulke. “Adding a pasteur-izer has been the key to allowing us to expand our sales, which will help us to assist growers in putting more acres into production. That’s our overall goal, not only to be profitable and sustainable agriculturally, but to help the growers.”
The pasteurizer will make the com-pany’s products “shelf stable,” Gulke adds, “and not require refrigeration,” much in the same way pickles and other products are found on the aisle shelves in grocery stores.
“EDASC has been a supporter of Pleasant Valley Farms for a long time,” Gulke states, “and with their support, we have been able to obtain govern-ment-guaranteed financing and involve the community in our success.”
Pleasant Valley Farms currently employs 70 people but during planting and harvests can expand up to as many as 175.
Presses Pick uP sPeeDNiche markets are nothing new in
Skagit County, but here’s one few have thought of: Reconditioned newspaper
printing presses.Impressions Worldwide services and
sells presses all over the world from its location at the Port of Skagit, where it’s been for 11 of its 16 years in existence.
Despite the departure of many web-set newspapers in this country, ac-cording to Impressions impresario Tom Loesch, “The demand is quite high for presses on the international level.”
Once a sale is made, Loesch’s staff of 15 goes into action to customize a press for the client, deliver it and install it.
“There’s quite a demand for color just hitting countries like Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines,” he points out, adding that publishers in Mexico and countries in South American and Africa are also among his clients.
“It used to be we were buried with work in the U.S. Obviously, the demand declined, newspapers shut down, but business overseas picked up, and in five years, our business model reversed,” he explains.
Many community newspapers in America are still doing all right finan-cially, he adds, and many have become good customers as well.
anacortes welcomes antHony’s
One of the Northwest’s premier restaurant chains, Anthony’s, opened a 6,800-square-foot fine-dining estab-lishment at Cap Sante Marina located at the Port of Anacortes in January to great reviews.
This new restaurant, number 20 in the privately held chain, can accommo-date 312 guests, including 32 in a private room and another 100 on two large view decks, one open and one covered and created 80 new jobs in Anacortes.
“Anthony’s underscores the spirit of the Northwest that Anacortes so perfectly embodies,” says Anthony’s President and founder Budd Gould. “We’re excited to contribute to it.”
“The response at the opening (Jan. 17) was so fantastic,” adds Lane Hoss, director of marketing. “People have been so wonderful. We opened the doors to a full crowd.” Bob Hyde, Port Executive Director, stated, “Anthony’s Restaurant is exactly what we were hoping for in an anchor tenant for the Boat Haven. It will bring the com-munity and tourists by land and sea to Anacortes. We are proud of the fact
that Anthony’s sees Anacortes as a place they want to be. Thanks go out to Mayor Maxwell and the City of Ana-cortes, as well the Anacortes Chamber of Commerce for helping with this op-portunity.”
Anthony’s HomePort, which started in Kirkland in 1975, employs more than 2,000, of whom about 120 are veterans of 10 years or more. The chain’s core commitment is to using only fresh, Northwest seafood and local produce, as well as Northwest wines and micro-brews.
Hoss said EDASC had been particu-larly helpful in providing good research. “They were very supportive,” she adds, pointing out that they were an espe-cially great resource in helping “guide us and answering questions about the community.”
taquería el milagro- tHe miracle truck
Gonzalo Huitrón calls his Ta-quería on wheels “El Milagro-- The Miracle.” In March of 2007, Mr. Huit-rón came to EDASC to seek financing for his business. At that time he had no established credit or collateral. He was born in a small town in Mexico called Vicente Guerrero in the State of Michoacán. He says that his earliest memory occurred at the age of four—the memory of his own cries as he called for his mother and watched her back as she disappeared down a long dusty road. She never returned. At the age of seven, he began working in the fields in Mexico before finally making it to the States.
His prospects were poor for this loan but he did not give up.
He established credit and saved the money. Then the real miracles began. After saving $8,000 to buy the truck, it was given to him as a gift. He was able to heal and continue business after a propane tank explosion burned his face and scarred his hands. And then two micro loans totaling $9,500 were approved by the ‘Skagit Council of Governments’ loan fund. He is now the proud owner of a successful business and is already thinking of expanding. To top it off, Mr. Huitrón was voted the “Best Bite” in 2010 for his beef tacos, by those who attended the 2nd annual Bite of Skagit fundraiser on July 31, 2010.

With the ease and schedule flexibility that Confidential Paper Shredding Service offers, there’s no reason to throw your busi-ness secrets and client information out with the trash. Protect sensitive information from prying eyes by using their documentation destruction service.
Confidential Paper Shredding’s uni-formed and fully insured employees will pick up and securely transport your records to their facility for shredding. Appointments for witnessed shredding can be made if you want to bring your documents and watch them be destroyed.
Service can be provided on a scheduled or on-call basis. Covered, lockable storage containers for use between contract service dates are kept in your office. Service can be scheduled on a weekly, monthly or less fre-quent basis as needed. Documents are strip-shredded; removal of staples is unnecessary. Shreds are recycled.
Owners Susan and Jim Grove believe that confidential data destruction is a vital
part of good business and is important to company security. They started the business in January 1996 to provide a vital commu-nity service and employ their handicapped daughter, Jenny. “We began this business with Jenny after she learned data destruc-tion skills as part of her special education training in the Anacortes School District,” remarked Susan.
“We think office staff ’s time is too expensive to spend on destroying outdated paperwork, and that’s where we can help,” she added. “When documents are in your way, it’s time to call us!”

Construction Unlimited, Inc. was established in 1996 as a small husband and wife construction company. Like many contractors, we started with basic equipment, small projects, and a dream.
As land development rapidly expanded throughout Skagit and Island Counties, our consistent attention to detail and ability to meet the requirements of local municipalities brought us larger and more complex projects.
Today the company has added numerous experienced employees and invested in diverse types of equipment. These investments allow for operations throughout the region in site development, public road construction, underground utilities, environmental remediation, and forestry road construction and maintenance.
We are active members of EDASC, SICBA, Anacortes Rotary, and Chamber of Commerce. We haven’t become successful on our own. We would like to express our appreciation to our team of local businesses
that have helped us grow and continue to move forward. Special thanks to Williams & Nulle and Skagit State Bank.

Every building has a job to do in the suc-cess of a business.
This fact is at the heart of Fisher & Sons’ business as a general contractor. With more than 50 years of doing business in the Pacific Northwest, Fisher’s unique design+build approach helps owners see both the necessi-ties—and the possibilities—a building will have in performing its role as an environ-ment for doing business.
Focused on solutions that perform and sustain the investment over time, Fisher’s architectural division, FSI Architects has designed millions of square feet of space—including healthcare facilities, retail developments, manufacturing plants and distribution centers. Using Revit, a build-ing information modeling system, owners can virtually walk through a facility before it is built, thinking through the systems and construction in advance, preparing for them to become reality.
Owners value the flexibility design+build offers, as well as the ability to expedite
schedules and control the budget. The benefits are:
• Single point of accountability—elimi-nating the need for excessive change orders.
• Early determination of costs—estab-lishing a project budget that is workable and firm.
• Team approach—solving expected and unexpected challenges.
• Value engineering—identifying cost-saving measures without compromising quality.
From working under the constraints of
limited budgets and compressed time frames to resolving the toughest design and envi-ronmental issues, Fisher & Sons goes the extra mile to deliver customer satisfaction. “Customer satisfaction is integral to our mis-sion,” says Fisher Companies CEO Jerome Fisher. “The bottom line is we stand behind our work 100%.”

Do you know what an Endodontist is? If you don’t, you most likely aren’t alone. A recent survey by the American Association of Endodontists revealed that 90% of people don’t know. Simply put, an Endodontist is a dental specialist who performs root canals, exclusively. In addition to attending dental school for 4 years, an Endodontist spends an additional 2-3 years of studying and performing complex root canal treatments.During these extra years of training, En-dodontists learn to diagnose and treat root canals surgically and non-surgically.
Many times patients are concerned that root canal treatment will hurt. En-dodontists also have additional training in anesthesia techniques, which aids greatly in assuring their patients’ comfort during treat-ments. The advancement in current dental technology has also shortened treatment time and helped in the predictability of successful treatment. These advancements include the surgical operating microscope
(magnifies the inside of the tooth), com-puterized measurements of the root system (more accurate measurements), digital radiographs (decreases radiation), and in-strumentation techniques that can negotiate the most complex roots.
“The abilities of a specialist increases efficiency, decreases dreaded chair time for patients, and in most cases, results in a pain-free experience,” says Richard M. Simcock, DDS, PS., who practices in Mount Vernon. “Endodontists are an important part of
the dental team and work closely with the general dentist to help manage and treat the untimely tooth ache that sometimes occurs”.
Next time you are advised you need a root canal, discuss with your general dentist whether an Endodontist would be a good choice for you.

Rulersmith, Inc. is a laser cutting and screen printing job shop that specializes in the production of acrylic rulers and tem-plates. We take pride in providing high quality products to our customers while still maintaining a competitive price. Starting with product design and development mov-ing through production and finishing with custom packaging, Rulersmith has the solu-tion for your acrylic laser cutting and screen printing needs.
Rulersmith has been making rulers and templates since 1985. Our owner and Presi-dent, Peggy Schafer, and her late husband Randy invented the Omnigrid quilting ruler. While quilting, Peggy was having trouble with the existing rulers on the market and asked her husband Randy, who was an expe-rienced screen printer, to make her a better ruler. Using her idea that the ruler should perform well on light and dark fabric, Randy developed a black and yellow ruler that be-came the Omnigrid. Utilizing Peggy’s quilt-ing and marketing skills, Omnigrid quickly
rose to the top of the quilting industry. The Omnigrid brand has since been sold but Rulersmith continues to produce them as well as many other fine laser cut, and screen printed acrylic products.
Located in Burlington, WA, Rulersmith has been providing the world with its unique services for over 20 years. For more information please visit our Website or give us a call.

The Shell Puget Sound Refinery is the second largest of four refineries located in Northern Puget Sound in Northwest Washington State. There are two refineries located near Anacortes. The one cur-rently operated by Shell Oil, was originally constructed by the Texas Company in 1958. The refinery was built to supply West Coast markets originally with Canadian crude oil. The refinery was called the Texaco Ana-cortes Refinery from 1958-1998.
The second refinery in Anacortes was originally constructed under the Shell Oil Company name, located just to the north of the Texaco Refinery. In 1998 when Shell and Texaco created the joint venture called Equilon, regulations prohibited two Shell locations in such close proximity to each other. Tesoro Petroleum bought the original Shell refinery located north of the present Shell refinery. The original Texaco Ana-cortes refinery became known as the Equilon Refinery from 1998-2002. In March 2002, when Texaco merged with Chevron, Shell
Oil Products US acquired full ownership of the Equilon refinery and continues to oper-ate it as the Shell Puget Sound Refinery.
Safety, health and environmental protec-tion are the highest priorities for the refin-ery. Located in the pristine waters of North-ern Puget Sound and at the gateway to the spectacular San Juan Islands, protection of the environment is a primary concern.
More than 450 people are directly em-ployed at the refinery. Approximately 250 additional contractors are also employed on an on-going basis. Employees are represent-
ed by United Steelworkers Union (USW) and are very involved in the local Anacortes and Skagit County communities, playing a vital role in making this area a great place to live.

Skagit County’s Rural Character is a Na-tional Treasure
The richest agricultural valley in the Western Hemisphere is located in Skagit County, Washington, nestled between the alpine mountains of the North Cascades and crystal clear seas of Puget Sound. Bountiful crops, including the finest red potatoes in the world, hundreds of acres of stunning tu-lips, dairy farms, green peas, berries, apples, and seed crops, make our county one of the most diverse and productive agricultural regions in the United States.
In addition to a prosperous agriculturally based economy, Skagit County is rich in natural resource lands. With almost 500,000 acres of federally owned land, and large holdings of private forests, there is room for both industry and recreation.
Thanks to a healthy local economy and an involved population, Skagit County is home to many new manufacturing and retail jobs. Skagit County elected officials have worked hard over the years to provide good
stewardship to preserve our rural lifestyle, provide opportunity for family wage jobs, and protect the environment.
Tourist opportunities abound. As the gateway to the world-famous San Juan Islands, the inland sea of Puget Sound provides a recreational Mecca for kayakers, boaters, fishers, and beachcombers. The North Cascades provides hiking, hunting, fishing, and sightseeing second to none.
Skagit County elects its three Skagit County Commissioners by district. Ron Wesen represents District 1, Ken Dahlstedt
represents District 2, and Sharon Dillon represents District 3.

The Skagit County Emergency Medical Services Commission is a diverse group of volunteers dedicated to providing county-wide emergency medical services. Dr. Don Slack, County Medical Program Director, establishes pre-hospital medical protocols for life-sustaining treatment throughout the county and monitors the quality of care provided to you and your family.
Each 9-1-1 call activates a protocol-driven cascade of emergency system ele-ments. Dispatchers, local fire departments, EMT’s, paramedics, search-and-rescue units, emergency aircraft and hospital emergency departments must function as a cohesive team in every response. First minutes are critical. Because emergency services form the initial response in the chain of survival, the system has come to be known as Medic One. Skagit County Medic One has oper-ated with funds allocated by the Medic One Tax Levy since 1978. The EMS Commission coordinates, operates, provides and main-tains this county-wide EMS system, with
the Skagit County Board of Commissioners maintaining ultimate authority through direct oversight of Medic One levy funds.
The Skagit County EMS Commission believes that the best medicine is preventive medicine. The Commission, in coopera-tion with Safe Kids and the child passenger safety team, conducts regular car seat safety clinics to ensure that children are properly secure in their car seats. The Commission’s bicycle safety program offers low-cost bicycle helmets year round to the general public. The Skagit County EMS Commis-
sion is most concerned with saving lives and preserving quality of life. The Commission is also proud to offer CPR and first aid train-ing to Skagit County residents. This service is made possible by the county-wide Medic One levy. Contact us for more information and the schedule.

SAN FRANCISCO — Peo-ple ages 50 to 64 are most likelyto benefit from the new federalhealth law because they havethe highest rates of long-termunemployment among working-age adults and are more likely tohave health problems that wouldmake it tough for them to buyindividual coverage, according toa report released Tuesday.
The study, by the Common-
wealth Fund, estimated 18.3 mil-lion people in that age groupstand to benefit from provisionsin the federal health law, includ-ing the expanded access to cover-age, elimination of lifetime andannual spending caps on poli-cies and, eventually, the end ofinsurers denying people coveragebased on their medical histories.
“For most older adults who are uninsured or underinsured, theearly provisions, many of whichwent into effect this year, willprovide transitional relief,” said
Sara Collins, CommonwealthFund vice president and thereport’s lead author.
The study by the liberal-lean-ing nonprofit think tank foundthat unemployed workersbetween the ages of 55 and 64years old had been jobless for anaverage of almost 45 weeks, thelongest of any working age group. When people lose their jobs, theytypically lose health coverage. “Aloss of employment benefits canbe devastating to people in thisage group,” Collins said.
California is one of 16 stateswhere the uninsured rate for peo-ple in the 50- to 64-year-old agegroup is higher than the nationalaverage of about 15 percent.
The study contends this agegroup has possibly the most togain from some of the provi-sions in the new federal healthlaw, which will probably end upbefore the U.S. Supreme Court.A federal judge in Virginia onMonday declared the government

SVC’s Marine Maintenance Technology program, now located at the Northwest Career and Technical Academy’s Marine Technology Center in Anacortes.
O�ering 26 accredited, industry-aligned Workforce Education program options.
Providing hands-on training that meets or exceeds industry standards.
Promoting community partnerships, student engagement, and state-of-the-art technology.
Your Partner in Addressing Workforce Needs:Skagit Valley College has been rec-
ognized again as one of the nation’s top community colleges! In the fall, Washing-ton Monthly published “America’s 50 Best Community Colleges” and SVC was ranked #19. And in 2007, SVC was #22. With this year’s recognition, SVC is the only commu-nity college in Washington to appear both years.
In choosing SVC, many students prepare to enter the workforce in one of 26 accred-ited, industry-aligned Workforce Educa-tion programs including Criminal Justice, Computer Information, and Nursing. Oth-ers pursue a transfer degree or specialized pathway such as Business, Music, Pre-Nurs-ing, and Science.
A number of changes have taken place throughout our district, reflecting a commit-ment to community and student success. In the fall, SVC celebrated the opening of the Northwest Career and Technical Academy “Quall Center” on the Mount Vernon Cam-
pus and the Marine Technology Center in Anacortes. By partnering with Anacortes, Burlington-Edison, Concrete, La Conner, Mount Vernon, and Sedro-Woolley school districts – along with the invaluable help of Representative Dave Quall – students can access the most advanced skills center in Washington. Programs include Dental Technology, DigiPen, and Veterinary Tech-nology.
The NCTA Marine Technology Center is home for Marine Technology, a national leader in preparing workers for the marine trades and the only Washington program
offering American Boat and Yacht Council certified training.
In looking ahead, Washington state’s economic challenges will mean that SVC will be required to make deep cuts. Despite these challenges, we remain committed to strengthening our local economy by prepar-ing a well-educated workforce.

Sound Ocean Metal Fabricators Ltd. is a full service custom metal fabrication shop featuring stainless steel, mild steel, and aluminum sheet metal fabrication. We specialize in Food Processing systems and equipment, and provide Industrial & Com-mercial services for projects of all sizes.
SOMF expanded its client and project base in 2010, with two major projects of note. SOMF produced a complete fish pro-cessing line in a joint alliance with Ryco for Loyd Fish, a large fish processing company in the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia. The volume and size of the equipment were so big that 17 semi-truck loads were required to move the equipment for shipping to Russia. SOMF sent two experienced Project Manag-ers to oversee the assembly and installation in the Russian plant, where they successfully completed assembly, installation and start-up under extremely difficult conditions.
SOMF also produced and installed RSW tanks, conveyors, and weigh hoppers for the Juneau plant of Icy Strait Seafoods, a
Bellingham-based direct buyer and processor of salmon and halibut and other Alaskan seafood. The processing facility is located on the pier where cruise ships dock and at the Port of Juneau. Working with the City of Juneau, Icy Straits and SOMF designed the plant to visually enhance the waterfront for tourists as they come ashore and so they can view the fish being conveyed into the plant for processing. SOMF’s experienced crew completed the installation in less than three weeks.
Over the past 10 years SOMF has contin-
ued to grow and, even though our client base is world-wide, we work with manufacturers and producers in the Skagit Valley - most of which are also EDASC members. We remain competitive in our pricing and produce du-rable, efficient equipment built to the high-est standards for consistent Quality Assur-ance backed by unwavering Customer Service.
