The Skagit Valley Tulip Festival is a popular and hot tourist destination from late March to early April in the Skagit Valley of Mount Vernon, WA. The acres and acres of land suddenly burst to life with blooming tulips of every shade, color, and variety. With Mt Rainier on backdrop, this becomes a perfect spot to sit, admire, and enjoy nature.
