Day trip: Just 58 miles from Green Lake is Roozengaarde (15867 Beaver Marsh Rd, Mt Vernon) the PacNW’s foremost tulip grower.
Here in the 3-acre display gardens is a preview of the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival which starts officially April 1.
Even on a cloudy-shrouded day like today the colors are an adrenalin shot for the soul. Expect to pay $4.00 pp to park at the garden and enter the festival.
If you don’t stop at Mount Vernon’s Calico Cupboard Cafe and Bakery (121-B Freeway Drive, Mt Vernon) for a cinnamon bun, you’re missing out on a unforgettable experience for your taste buds.
