Seattlest is way into the culture of life, so on Saturday we decided to experience some firsthand in Skagit Valley at the 22nd Annual Tulip Festival.

Fields are slick, muddy, and puddle-full, so it's best to dress accordingly. We saw some frat-boy meathead wearing Birkenstocks slip in the mud and were sorely disappointed when he was able to recover his balance.
