SUMMARY:Tulip Town
DESCRIPTION:Starting with Tulip Town’s Opening Day of Bloom 2026 on April 1 and throughout April\, the scrappy squad promises to deliver an idyllic day on the farm for the whole family (think old-school trolley treks through the tulips\, a retail boutique brimming with local artisan wares\, a beer and wine garden\, café and an abundance of color throughout their outdoor garden and 10\,000 square foot indoor displays). \nAnd yet\, due to regional flooding during the planting season last fall\, the fields are going to look a bit different than they have in past years. \n“It’s so painful as a farmer to do everything’ right’ and then get hammered by the rain in a way that our valley has never seen before\,” said Andrew Miller\, partner at Spinach Bus Ventures. “We talked to everyone we knew\, from our neighboring farmers to our suppliers and experts in Holland\, and they all said the same thing: you can’t plant tulips in the mud. We didn’t have another option\, so we planted in the mud and hoped for a miracle. It looks like that miracle is going to have to manifest in another way because we’re just not going to get the color we had hoped to share this year.” \nMost of the fences around the field have been removed\, so guests will be able to experience the tulip blooms up close. \nInside the barn\, visitors can explore 10\,000 square feet of indoor garden space brimming with goods and gifts from area artisans\, thousands of potted tulips for purchase\, local fare\, and even an “Ombre Selfie Wall” featuring rows and rows of live tulips in various colors. \nA snapshot of what to expect from a trip to Tulip Town \n\nOld-school trolley treks through the tulips (weather-dependent)\nShop local at Tulip Town’s retail boutique featuring artisan wares\, goods\, and gifts from Skagit Acres\nBrowse the flower stand and nursery for plants\, pottery\, and more (nearly 5\,000 potted tulips)\nEnjoy local ice cream and treats\nSpecialty espresso drinks from farm-to-fork bistro Skagit Landing\nTulip Town Beer and Wine Garden (sip hyper-local beer\, wine\, and cider under the white string lights strewn overhead)\n\nTICKETS  \n$16 ages 16+ | $10 ages 3-15 \nKids 5 and under are free \nAll General Admission tickets include: \nParking \nEntry \nTrolley Ride (Weather Dependent) \nAccess to the 2026 Bloom Field\, Tulip Gardens\, Indoor Tulip Display & Barn Experience \n

SUMMARY:Everett Philharmonic Orchestra Listener’s Choice Concert
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Everett Philharmonic Orchestra for our season finale Sunday\, May 1 at 3pm in the Everett Civic Auditorium when Dr. Paul-Elliot Cobbs conducts two of Aaron Copland’s most popular works: Fanfare for the Common Man and Appalachian Spring\, as well as additional works by Beethoven and American composer Wayne Barlow. This concert\, graciously sponsored by Northwest LED Lighting\, is our annual selection of audience favorites in the “Listener’s Choice” concert. \nAt the outset of the concert\, Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man gives a spine-tingling affirmation of the strength of the “Common Man” – much in evidence in our lives in these turbulent times. His beloved Appalachian Spring is a more comforting and joy-filled reminder of happy seasons that lie ahead of us. After intermission the Everett Phil’s principal oboist Laurie Swanson will be featured in American composer Wayne Barlow’s The Winter’s Passed. Barlow’s most enduring work is a neoclassical fantasy based on southern folk tunes inspired by a verse from the Songs of Solomon. We’ll end the afternoon and close out our season with Beethoven’s bright and cheery Symphony No. 6. In this pastoral symphony\, we’ll join Beethoven on a walk in the countryside outside Vienna to a babbling brook and merry gathering\, briefly interrupted by a thunderstorm before enjoying a shepherd’s song played in thanks for the warm sun of spring. Tickets on sale now for $10 – 25. Mask required for everyone in attendance. Please check our website for the most up-to-date COVID policies. For more info visit us at EverettPhil.org\, email info@everettphil.org\, subscribe to our FaceBook page or call (425) 585-8975.

SUMMARY:Puget Sound LYS Tour
DESCRIPTION:Founded in 2006 by a few shop owners who liked to party\, the first Puget Sound LYS Tour included 12 shops. With our region well known for quality yarn shops\, the Tour quickly grew in size. In addition to being the first of it’s kind\, we believe we are also the largest Yarn Store Tour in the Nation. \n​In 2006\, the Tour began as a long\, three-day weekend. Then it expanded to four days. For the 6 years\, it spanned five days with 25 shops. The 15th Anniversary Tour in 2020 was cancelled because of COVID-19\, but we celebrated the Anniversary one year later with 20 shops\, spanning 10 days! This year we will be returning to our more traditional\, five day schedule. \n​Each year\, the shops gather and work together to plan a fabulous Tour with prizes\, free patterns\, and discounts. \nOur goal is to help our customers learn\, grow\, and become successful in the art and craft we all love. That’s the principle that’s been driving the LYS Tour all these years. That\, and we all like to party. \nPlease join us May 11th – 15th 2022! \nhttps://www.lystour.com/\nlystour@gmail.com
