The Anacortes Mural Project has sponsored colorful murals on nearly every block of Anacortes, Washington. Most are by Bill Mitchell. He often depicts historic scenes and residents like this one called “Anacortes Junk Company.” It shows owner Mike Demopoulus driving his Mack truck full of paper in 1918. The art is on the side of the Marine Industrial Supply building. This company has been run by the Demopoulus family since 1913. By the way, the wheelbarrow is real.
