Schaffner Pharmacy & Apothecary Coffee

**Update! Schaffner Pharmacy & Compounding in Anacortes will open for business on Monday December 8th! We are still working on some of our insurance contracts, but we can begin taking care of some patients next week. Compounding will open in January as we are still waiting on some key pieces of equipment!**

Anacortes, meet Laura Schaffner!

Laura is the better half of the Schaffner Pharmacy ownership team. She handles a lot of the behind the scenes logistics to support our family businesses. Most recently she could have been spotted cleaning the windows at our new Anacortes location and helping to hang some of our cabinetry. While Laura might not be present at the pharmacy on a daily basis she does millions of things to ensure that it runs smoothly.

Our new pharmacy in Anacortes marks a return to healthcare in Anacortes for Laura. After earning her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Portland in 2009 she spent the next 13 years working as a nurse at Island Hospital with the last 11 years in the birth center. Helping moms to have a positive labor experience and be part of bringing babies into this world was a dream job for Laura. Many of the providers and coworkers there have turned into her best friends and have supported our family through the good times and the tough times, like our family’s own battle with cancer in 2018.

After having her fourth child in 2023 (all delivered in Anacortes) it was time for Laura to step back from bedside nursing to spend more time with her young family. Leaving nursing doesn’t mean that Laura relaxes. It is actually quite the contrary. Owning businesses is a full time job and she is often fixing/optimizing operations late through the night once all of the kids are asleep.

Laura is very excited to open Schaffner Pharmacy & Compounding in Anacortes to continue serving the wonderful Anacortes community. “I truly believe we provide something special. We are not just another pharmacy; we provide the kind of health care experience I believe everyone deserves.”

Our hearts go out to the Anacortes community. The world lost a great man yesterday. Your memory will live on in the community for generations and your legacy can be seen in the thousands of lives you touched.

Anacortes, meet your pharmacy team!

This is Tristen. She is a pharmacy technician extraordinaire! She is an expert in all things related to community pharmacy operations from prescription processing to inventory management. Tristen has been our lead in Sedro-Woolley for the past seven years (and even longer if we include the time before we were Schaffner Pharmacy) and while we are sad for her to be leaving our Sedro-Woolley location we are thrilled that she will be running the show in Anacortes.

Tristen was born and raised in Anacortes and her family still calls it home. Along with her partner, Ricky, they own a local business called Total Home Services that is a full-service lawn maintenance company that also does sprinkler repair and backflow assembly testing in Anacortes and beyond.

Tristen is very excited to be able to serve her hometown and can’t wait for the doors of Schaffner Pharmacy & Compounding to open for business.

Today we checked off a few of the million things we need to do before we officially open! Chris arrived at about 5:30 AM to install more hardware and spent 4 hours on the phone with getting our pharmacy system setup and configured! Laura started our exterior decorating!

We are getting closer to opening in Anacortes! There are still a million things to do, but day by day we are getting there. Stay tuned for an official soft opening date!
