Every year, hundreds of thousands of people come to the Skagit Valley in April for the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. As one of Washington State’s most popular destination events, visitors and residents are treated to acres and acres of brightly colored tulips, display gardens that are simply stunning, and photo opportunities around every corner. In 2016 alone, the festival greeted visitors from all 50 states and from 93 countries! Visit the Tulip Festival website for more information on all the wonderful 2018 events, exhibits and happenings.

This year’s Mayor's Wellness Challenge focus is on increasing community awareness and conversation about mental health. We hope you’ll join us for this event, as Mount Vernon Parks Foundation Vice President Peter Wheeler leads a family friendly, 3-mile walk on the trails at Little Mountain Park. This is a great introduction to the expansive trail system and Peter will share some easy ways to get out walking as well as maps & apps to use for Little Mountain.  Come experience for yourself how a walk in the forest can soothe the mind and boost mental wellness.
