Mount Vernon

Every year during the month of April, to the delight of local businesses and irritation of local residents, the city celebrates the [ tulip festival]. Thousands of Seattle residents and international visitors flock to see the endless fields of tulips just outside the city limits that paint the Skagit Valley more brilliantly than a Dutch impressionist could. During the peak of the tulip festival, First Street is closed downtown and local artists set up stalls. Partly as a result of this, at the height of the festival traffic downtown gets congested. It is therefore adviseable to use Best Road instead to reach the tulip fields.

Usually celebrated during July July 11-12, 2009. A shuttle runs from the "County" parking lot at the Kincaid Street exit off I-5.

A 1920's era movie theater with art-deco decor. It currently serves as a combination performance theater and movie theater.
