Skagit County is in northwest Washington, providing convenient access between Seattle to the south and Vancouver, B.C., Canada to the north, both just a drive away on I-5. Travel to the east and you’ll find the stunning Cascade Mountains, renowned for their majestic snow-capped peaks and ample hiking and camping opportunities.
Comprised of just four cities, this smaller-sized county’s largest city is Mount Vernon located in Skagit Valley. One of the area’s biggest pulls for visitors across the state is the annual Tulip Festival, a spring-time celebration of the region’s beautiful tulip farms, with street fairs, local artwork, and kid-friendly fun, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of Skagit Valley’s famed tulip fields.
