Anacortes is also one of 2 principal cities of and included in Mount Vernon-Anacortes Metropolitan Statistical Area.
The city is famous for its Washington State Ferries dock and terminal which serves Lopez Island, Orcas Island, Shaw Island and San Juan Island, as well as Victoria BC (via Sidney BC) on Vancouver Island. There is a Skagit County-operated ferry serving Guemes Island, a residential island north of Anacortes, situated across Guemes Channel.
Anacortes is surrounded by the North San Juan and Puget Sound Islands on three sides, as well as by Swinomish Channel and the Skagit Valley's flats to the east. The weather is milder than other regions of the Pacific Northwest, as it lies within the Olympic Mountain rain shadow.
