Bo Miller was a resident of Fishtown. What is Fish Town? Where is Fish Town?

The dwellings at Fish Town were humble shacks that had been abandoned when net fishing was outlawed at the mouth of the Skagit River. About a dozen artists moved into them and were productive from the late 60s into the 80s. Fish Town was approachable only by a circuitous route by land or by boat. The Fish Town artists took their inspiration from the "Northwest Mystics," Morris Graves, Mark Tobey, Guy Anderson, and others. They worked in literature and visual arts. Much like the NW Mystics, the artists of Fish Town were greatly influenced by Asian art and literature.
