Northwest Washington’s Skagit Valley comes alive with brilliant color each spring. Acres and acres of daffodils, tulips, irises, and lilies entice visitors to the towns of La Conner and Mount Vernon. They come to take in the pastoral beauty, and to enjoy the annual festivities. The flower-viewing season begins with dainty yellow daffodils in mid- to late-March; a rainbow of tulips takes the stage in April. Irises and lilies follow, providing color well into the month of May.
Here are some images from the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival outside Seattle, WA. If you’ve never been to a tulip festival before, this is the place that takes it all. The best time to go is in early April when the tulips are in full bloom.
