Before any human settlement, before Amos Bowman or even the earliest of Natives, there was life on Fidalgo Island - though it was not called Fidalgo Island back then, it was not an island of any sort. That life still exists here today, in the air, earth, water, the plants, the animals, the mountains and the lakes. The story of the land is no less exciting than the stories of those that have lived on it, and it’s a history that runs deep.
