MERMEN OF ANACORTES CAMPAIGN IS LIVE!
A playful, community-wide fundraiser where local legends compete for a spot in the 2027 Mermen of Anacortes Calendar—and the famous Fourth of July Parade Float. Donate to vote.
This fundraiser brings our community together to celebrate creativity, share some laughs, and turn that energy into something meaningful. Every vote helps connect students, families, and communities to the wildlife, waters, and wonder of the Salish Sea.
"Our teenage daughter thoroughly enjoyed the time she spent with the Salish Sea School. She experienced so many new things traveling around to different islands and learning from the wonderful instructors about the species in and around the Salish Sea. The hands-on experience really helped her acquire new knowledge in an exciting way and she continues to tell us what she learned about the whales, fish, and bird life. The school filled her with a sense of global responsibility, environmental stewardship, and personal confidence."
