Skagit County native here. Love the energy and creativity Floret has brought to the valley! COA is indeed delicious, but don’t forget local standby Mexico Cafe. Ratchawadee has become a regional draw for Thai food, and Chuckwagon has been serving delicious gut bomb burgers since the 1940s, if that’s calling to you. For shopping, Easton’s Books on First Street is truly one of the country’s greatest used bookstores, curated by the brilliant Cornelius family. Across the street, the Lincoln Theater is a gem of a cinema that brings an amazing range of independent and international films to the valley. For the best views of Skagit Valley, check out the viewpoints from Little Mountain, which includes miles of trails for hikers of every level. Thanks, Floret, for doing the valley proud!

Don’t forgot to stop by Schuh Farms on Memorial hwy, right in the middle of the tulip fields. 100 year old dairy barn, locally owned farm selling pies, scones, cookies, produce, and plants. Also grab a berry shake or ice cream sandwich! Come feed the goats and chickens!

These left coast venues sound like a dream.Thats screams road trip. If only. I’m a farmer’s wife, so vacationing is like a 2 day pass.
But The North Pacific and Canada’s is definitely on the top 5 of my want to go list before I___. (Be creative here) The fact is I’m obsessed, and totally in love with what I don’t have here It’s country like this that make ya want to Van Life. I live in the South East wee mountain terrains and climate are far from what we know as the hot humid gulf stream.
May I could rent a AirBnb there for like a month Or take some understudy course for volunteers and stay in a farm village. Either way.
But I love my home. A girl needs dreams and aspiration to get to her goals.
Thanks to Erin, (emotionally intestered, I was driven by her story, the success of her empowerment, engaged for support of small bus across America, and sold on her brand!) I started my cut flower garden a 300sq ft plot,m with poor drainage, in 2020. Now 2023 to 1.5 acres on mulched covered raised beds and well let’s just say I have grown a lot more kindness through the flowers grown here in pasts, learned from mistakes and hopeful that this is my purpose the Good Lord has set for me. Either way it’s were I find my peace. So with all that said, Yes, I would love to visit any of these majestic places. And
Erin, thank you for your love, energy, passion, sacrifices, your time to share with us .You have a great supportive team, y’all always provide a wealth of information and resources to offer us.

We have a lovely community garden around the corner from our house. Unlike all the other gardeners, i decided to try to grow cutting flowers, but, unfortunately for the last three summers since I first joined I had a plot that didn’t get very much sun so I haven’t a ton success. This year the head of the committee offered me a double plot that is in one of the most desirable locations!! LOTS of sun AND adjacent to the hose! No more dragging a heavy hose to the furthest plot! So I’m very excited to get started and would love to try Steve’s sunflowers!! I will share the cuts with friends and all the other gardeners. Thank you for the opportunity to possibly win these GORGEOUS flower seeds!!

In reply to Sherry Arnold. Sharpie makes a fine tip marker that might work better for you.

I have a question for you, What kind of markers do you use for outdoor marking? I’m trying to find a fine tipped marker for outside. They all seem to be medium and I find I can’t fit all that I want on a marker with the medium tip.
Hope you can help.

Another Great Place to eat in Anacortes is Rock Fish Grill and Brewery on Commercial Ave . Great hamburgers, pulled pork sandwiches, pizza, salads and plethora of beer choices brewed on the premises. Outside dog friendly seating as well.

We love to watch the sun set from the Samish Overlook on Mt. Blanchard. You can drive nearly to the top, park, and walk a short distance for a fantastic view of the ocean and San Juan Islands.
