The mighty Skagit River flows through our county, providing recreational and economic opportunities, prime habitat for birds of all kinds, and lush farmlands known best for the tulips that splash color across the Skagit Valley every spring. This natural backdrop makes Skagit County an amazing place to visit and a sought-after place to call home. Our county sits on the ancestral lands of the Skagit Tribe, and it is no wonder the Skagit chose to settle on this land rich with natural resources and beauty.
Mount Vernon is our county seat and the hub from which you can reach all corners of Skagit. Stop by our Visitor Information Center in downtown Mount Vernon for recommendations on things to do, places to eat, drink and hang out, and “insider” tips from Skagit County locals.
We invite you to discover the people and places that make Skagit County unique.
– The staff of the Mount Vernon Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Information Center
