Currently No Burgers At The Fidalgo Drive-In In Anacortes


If I am up north, in Washington, next week, I won't be getting to go to my Favorite Nephew Jason's Fidalgo Drive-in in Anacortes.

A city of Anacortes dump truck hit the awning under which cars park, rendering the awning dangerously damaged. And closing the Fidalgo Drive-in til repairs can be made.

The screen shot above is from an article in an Anacortes online news purveyor, about the mishap. If you look closely at the photo, you will see yellow crime scene type tape blocking the damaged structure.

From the article in that Anacortes online news purveyor (I would include the link to the article, but it turns into one of those paywall deals)...

At about 7:30 a.m. Monday morning, a City of Anacortes garbage truck backed into the awning causing "extensive damage," owner Jason Jones said in an email.

"An equipment damage report has been prepared documenting the minor damage to the truck," Mayor Matt Miller said in an email. "The damage to the drive-in is still being assessed and the city will work with the property owner through our insurance carrier Washington Cities Insurance Authority (WCIA)."

Miller also sent a city building official to look over all the damage to assess for "potential safety concerns," he wrote. 

"The restaurant will reopen as soon as emergency repairs are completed," Jones said in his email.
