Skagit Valley Tulip Festival

Last Wednesday I accompanied a group of folks with the Spontaneous Seattle Trekkers Meetup on a trip to Skagit Valley and La Conner to check out the Tulip Festival. The festival officially starts April 1 but nearly everything was already in bloom and the crowds were light. We visited Rosengard gardens and Christianson's Nursery, and had lunch in downtown La Conner. Needless to say, the show gardens and fields are quite breathtaking in the diversity of flowers.
