Tulip Town

Waze Directions | Google Directions
Tulip Farm in Mount Vernon, WA. One of the main sites for the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival.

Features a tractor ride around the fields (really, a small enough area to be easily walkable), food with outdoor seating, gift store and tulip purchases.


Tulip Town also has a package for photographers who want to photograph the fields during the "golden hours" at sunrise or sunset.

Photography allowed; no drones.

Roozengaarde

Waze Directions | Google Directions
Roozengaarde is one of the two main sites for the annual Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. It features fields full of tulips as well as tulip sales (but you'll need to wait for Autumn to order bulbs to plant for next year).

Do not miss their display garden; I enjoyed it more than the tulip fields and it features some exquisite varieties of tulips.

Per their website, entry is by timed tickets and times cannot be changed. However, I witnessed them selling tickets at the door.

Nelson's Duckpond and Lavender Farm

Waze Directions | Google Directions
Nelson's Duckpond offers a tranquil spot to sit and gaze at the feature that gave this farm its name. Across the pond, a large, friendly red barn offers additional charm. If you're there during the festival, look for Tilly's Lavender Lemonade stand.

They also have lodging there if you need a place to stay while you're in Sequim.

Kitty B's Lavender Farm

Waze Directions | Google Directions
Kitty B’s Lavender Farm was one of the most photogenic of the farms I visited during the Sequim Lavender Festival — and lavender seems to be intrinsically photogenic.

From a white picket fence and a cruiser bike with a basket full of purple blooms to the large barn to a picture-perfect gazebo, there are plenty of photo opportunities here.

Meli's Lavender

Waze Directions | Google Directions
Meli's Lavender is a small field of lavender as compared with the larger farms, but they offer visitors an “Instagrammable” frame (at least they did during the Sequim Lavender Festival).

Private Daffodil Field

Waze Directions | Google Directions
This is a private daffodil field just past Tulip Town. There's no parking on the street in front of it, but I witnessed several people (including myself) parking down the road and walking down as it's a very photogenic field, even at the end of the daffodil season.

Garden Rosalyn

Waze Directions | Google Directions
You won't find vast fields of tulips at Garden Rosalyn. You will find some lovely manicured areas of tulips, some ducks and geese, and some play toys for the kids. You also won't find the crowds. It's a nice place to take some close up photos and take a break from the crowds you'll find at Roozengaarde.

Fat Cat Gardens and Gifts

Waze Directions | Google Directions
I recall FatCat as being a very friendly farm, with many people hanging out in lawn chairs, music playing. FatCat also has chickens, and some animals, a pond, and, yes, they have lots of lavender and a gift shop.

Blackberry Forest Lavender Farm

Waze Directions | Google Directions
I visited this farm during the lavender festival. Please check as they may not currently be open, but we have this marker on the map just in case as their fields were lovely.

Blackberry Forest had only a few booths open when I was there early in the morning, but their well-groomed lavender fields are very picturesque. I want to sneak back in during the golden hour to try my hand at portraits here sometime!

  1. I’m not adding this to the main post as it’s not in Washington State…but I’m hoping to get going with my rooftop tent this summer and take a drive down the Pacific Coast Highway…we’ll see. If I do, I may need to take a brief detour to visit this little Hobbit hole that I found in Northern California. It’s tiny at 300 feet…but the toadstool in front is a nice touch 🙂

  2. I don’t have any walking issues but I love trekking poles! So good for balance and stability. I’d always use two over one, as that way both sides are balanced. Once you get into a rhythm they also provide a good workout because of the muscles you use with them, so I definitely think they’re worth it (and that’s a good case for using two – you don’t want mismatched sides)

    Reply

    • Thanks for supporting my cause! Yes, I think they add to the workout — they give my upper body a bit extra when I use them (and it needs it!)

  3. Hi! I know some visitors here have been following comment updates on this post. I just realized that logged out users were being challenged by a CAPTCHA that was impossible to capture! That’s been fixed, and the persons responsible have been sacked (not really, because that would mean…me).

    Anyways, comments are working again if you feel like leaving a comment. If I find any more hobbit houses around here, I’ll add another one myself. I am planning a hobbit house visit myself in August, and, if that actually happens (it seems like I’ve had a confluence of events that seem determined to disrupt my plans), I will post an update.

    Thanks!

  4. It’s too bad we were not able to get this in the article but this Thursday, Friday & Saturday (15th, 16th & 17th) and the following Thursday, Friday & Saturday (22nd, 23rd & 24th) there are free performances of “William Shakespeare’s Long Lost First Play (abridged).” It’s a hilarious performance of young Shakespeare’s first attempt at a very very very long play.

    Tickets are FREE. Show is at the City of Shoreline City Hall. Starts at 7 p.m. Due to content, rated PG-13. Would love to have you.

    • Sounds great! Not sure I’ll be able to make it to the performance but I could add it to the event calendar when I’m back in town .

  5. The close-ups are helpful, thanks. But you have only fourteen kings listed here, not fifteen. I think it’s Stephen that you’re missing, after Henry I.

  7. What a lovely post, Cheryl! Really enjoyed reading about these famous graves, Chief Sealth, in particular. We haven’t been to Seattle in a long time. When we revisit, would love to add these destinations. Glad we found your blog! Will check other posts as well!!
    By the way, fantastic site design!!!

    • Thank you so much! I love visiting cemeteries — in Europe in particular, where there are much older graves. So you’re from the Bay Area? What cemeteries would you visit there? I just passed through SF this summer, but didn’t stop at any cemeteries in CA except for the one in Ferndale.

  8. Just a note: I realized after I wrote this that my daughter referred to MrCheckedBaggage in her text, implying that she did NOT go carry-on only. She intended to and Chester did, in fact, fit in the overhead bin just fine, but MrCheckedBaggage, a large suitcase, ended up accompanying them on their trip so she could take things her friend in France needed and also bring things home for her (along with some very nice gifts.)

    • I had a great time — very cold and rainy when I was there, but I was prepared! And, yes…very busy. I was there over a bank holiday weekend and it seems everyone goes to York to party.

    • Yeah, I like messing around with video, but I don’t necessarily putting my face and voice on things. I plan to do more video posts in the future…I just may not be in them as much as possible! ?

  14. Love reading about visitors’ experiences at Stonehenge! Always new things to discover and see this one-of-a kind adventure through other people eyes! Now wish we visited Woodhenge and Old Sarum during our tip to Stonehenge as well!

  15. There are 2 issues I have found after 2 years of using the Pro 2-3 time a week with carbon kayaks. First, the cheap material between each bar flattens and then your kayak is pressing on metal. Second, if you kayak rests on the two humps near where the pistons are they will dent your boat.

    Reply

    • Thanks, and good point! I’ve only been using the Hullavator with rotomolded plastic and thermoform kayaks and, so far, haven’t had issues. But I’m not a 2-3 times a week kayaker! For me, it was the easiest way I found to take the kayak out on my own.

  282. This was actually for something included only on Etsy NOT the embroidery file. But I’m leaving it here and marking it as completed to prevent it from re-importing from Etsy.

  289. This customer did NOT order this item…this imported as item did not exist on this site. Am leaving it here so it does not re-import the order.

  296. Actually ordered a different product on Etsy but was not in the sustem. Imported this instead so I left order in place so it would not re-import.

  297. This was actually for another item. But didn’t have it on this website and it auto imported as the wrong product. Left this in place so that it will not re-import this order.
