The tulips continue to show off at the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival in Mount Vernon. In fact, peak bloom is expected this week.
The annual festival normally runs through the end of April, but it's looking like the tulips are going to stick around a bit longer this year.
Tulip Town recently announced that it expects to be open into the month of May, adding, "We will be open as long as we have color at the farm."
Tulip Town will announce extended dates soon.
Nearby, RoozenGaarde has also said that it expects this season's bloom to run through early May, noting, "Just how long the tulips will be determined by Mother Nature, but we’re always open — so we’ll be here as long as there are blooms."
