Skagit Valley, Washington: Flowers, Farms & Outdoor Fun

Skagit Valley is famous for its Tulip Festival, and this conversation touches on it, but it covers so much more. On this episode of Big Blend Radio's "Sip, Savor & Travel" Podcast, Linda Kissam, the "Food, Wine & Shopping Diva," sits down with Kristen Keltz of the Skagit Tourism Bureau for a warm tour of this Pacific Northwest escape. They cover year-round whale watching and kayaking out of Anacortes, farm-to-table dining, oysters and Samish Bay cheese, pumpkin farms, a chamomile tea farm stay and historic theaters. They also cover holiday parades, art festivals, snow geese and eagles, and a few "ultimate days" in Skagit. Come for what you already know, and stay for what you didn't expect. About our guest: Kristen Keltz, IOM, CDME, is CEO of the Skagit Tourism Bureau, where she and her team work with local businesses and communities to share Skagit Valley as a year-round destination. 📖 Read Linda's article, "Skagit Valley: Tulips and Beyond": https://www.bigblendmediahouse.com/p/skagit-valley-tulips-and-beyond 🌷 Plan your visit to Skagit Valley: https://www.visitskagitvalley.com 🎧 More Sip, Savor & Travel Podcast episodes: https://www.bigblendmediahouse.com/sip-savor-travel 📚 Sip, Savor & Travel Digital Magazine: https://www.bigblendmediahouse.com/p/sip-savor-travel-magazine 🍷More from Linda Kissam: https://foodwinetravelchix.com
