Whatcom County is filled with amazing opportunities to get out and enjoy the great outdoors! One way to appreciate nature while getting some good exercise is to rent a kayak at Lake Whatcom (in the Silver Beach neighborhood). There’s nothing more relaxing than enjoying an hour or two gliding on the calm waters.

Residents of Silver Beach get to enjoy the beauty and recreational activities of Lake Whatcom all year round. To learn about homes available in this highly-sought-after area, please give me a call to hear about the latest Silver Beach home listings.

And now for our last tulip photo of the month… and I think we saved the best for last!  This perfect red tulip was snapped at the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival — it really was this vibrant (the photo is straight out of the camera).

If you haven’t yet made it out to Mt. Vernon to enjoy the tulips, act fast!  The flowers are beautiful, but they won’t be here forever!  If you have family visiting or are planning a visit to The Pacific Northwest yourself, you owe it to yourself to make this memorable stop!

People who live in The Pacific Northwest are often people who love to see nature right out their back window . . . and a visiting hummingbird is a great reminder of how beautiful it can be to live here!

Enjoy this photo of a Mt. Vernon visitor getting lost among all the stunning flowers. There’s nothing quite like being surrounded by so much color in these huge fields.

Skagit County is world-famous for its beautiful tulips, and its truly something not to be missed — especially since the days are getting sunnier! For more information on how you and your family can get in on the fun, visit a recent post on my Live in the Pacific NW blog!

Looks like some imposters snuck into the tulip fields, huh?  Believe it or not, these are actually another species of tulip, and you’ll see many unexpected forms of this beautiful flower when you visit the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival.

I’m always surprised to talk to Whatcom County residents who tell me they’ve never been to the Festival.  People come from all over to witness these bright fields blooming at their peak, and if you live in Bellingham, Ferndale or Lynden, the drive isn’t far at all . . . so don’t miss this special celebration of spring!

Please check out my helpful Pacific Northwest recreation guide for more information on how to enjoy life in the gorgeous Pacific Northwest!

For people who live in Whatcom County, Skagit County, Island and San Juan Counties, this is a special time of year. Many of us like to make the annual pilgrimage to Mt. Vernon’s annual Tulip Festival.
