Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. <br>The original expression louver mechanism was a long clutch cable which had corroded from the salt air and was no longer functional. In May, 2016 - Puget Sound Pipe Organs built a new wooden system of mechanical connection from expression show to ceiling louvers to replace the cable. Also, the Pedal 16' Bourdon was moved to the left to uncover a memorial stained glass window, and elevated on legs to avoid blocking a floor heating duct.

Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This was a kit organ by an unidentified builder. It was acquired by the wife of a Seattle-area Episcopal priest - Joan Thompson. When they couple retired and moved to Vashon Island, WA they gave the organ to Christ Church in Anacortes. It was installed there by that parish's former rector Rev. Marin H. Blake, who also added the wooden 16' Bourdon extension pipes outside the case. The organ was dedicated during Epiphany in 2003, sadly after Rev. Blake had died. The front of the case is covered by folding glass doors, and the expression louvers are in the ceiling of the case.
