The City of Anacortes City Council held a meeting on June 8, 2026, which included several procurement and budget-related discussions. Key procurement actions included approval of a contract modification with the Anacortes Family Center for a social worker agreement, reflecting ongoing community support services. The council also reviewed and approved the 2027-2032 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) update, outlining about 20 capital projects and three annual programs, including a $1.8 million annual pavement maintenance program and a proposed $200,000 allocation for downtown commercial corridor improvements starting in 2028.
