Every Year in April the tulips bloom in Skagit Valley (North of Seattle). We have lived in Washington eleven years and every year Louie and I say, "Next year we are going to see the fields and fields of tulips." Two weeks ago, Louie and I finally made a day trip to Mt. Vernon and La Conner because we wanted to see the tulips in all their splendor;however, when we arrived the tulips had not blossomed. Instead we saw fields and fields of daffodils.
