Weekend Tulips Max Effgen, April 25, 2009 The Skagit Valley Tulips are finally blooming. This is a very neat day trip from Seattle (approx. 1 hour north). I have been several times to tromp through the mud and work on my photography (above photo). That means up before dawn and out to catch first light. It is also a great place to bring a bike and ride from field to field. Calico Cupboard Cafe is a great place to catch some breakie afterward. Detailed information at tulipfestival.org. Have a good one! weekend/coffee weekend/coffee
