Street in Historic La Conner, Washington. Founded in the 1880's, La Conner plays host to hundreds of tourists every year.

From the beauty of the surrounding tulip fields that bloom every spring, and celebrated during the Annual Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. To the exciting family fun of the Annual Smelt Derby held in February. Warm surroundings, and pleasent greetings from local folk are what you will find in La Conner.

La Conner is about one hour north of Seattle and 25 minutes from the San Juan Island Ferries in Anacortes.
