Welcome to Samish Island!
“No Island Like Samish Island”
The Samish Island Community Center’s (SICC) mission is to encourage community development and interaction through educational and social activities among islanders. To that end, it also maintains the community center property as the primary place to gather.
We acknowledge that Samish Island is within the aboriginal territory of the Samish Indian Nation. They were and are respected for their spiritual, cultural, and traditional values and practices, such as weaving, carving, and building of longhouses. The Samish People lived here in stewardship of the lands and waterways of the Salish Sea since time immemorial. https://www.samishtribe.nsn.us/

Nancy K. Dillon, American Songs & Stories
Nancy K. Dillon, an award-winning American songwriter/performer, possesses a warm, expressive voice unique in revealing both strength and vulnerability. With a finely focused musical ear, Dillon mines a vein of avant-garde Americana in her compelling tales of mythopoetic darkness and light melding past and future.
Dillon’s poetic talent elevates her writing beyond the usual fare of singer-songwriters. She initially found inspiration in dreams and in traveling across vast landscapes in the western US. Then, her family’s history in Ireland, Scotland, Europe, and Britain yielded new inspiration and newly minted stories.
Dillon grew up in Central Oklahoma in a musical family. Her composer/professor/jazz-saxophonist/church-choir director father, Bob Dillon, and her mother, Betty Lou, a former vocal teacher who sang hymns around the house, surrounded her with music. After graduating from the University of Oklahoma, a move to Seattle led to travel, adventure, and varied musical opportunities.
This concert is free; seats are limited, and doors open at 2:15.
