Pacific Northwest - Washington
La Conner
| Recenter Map To This Location |
Once your island visits are complete and you’ve exited the ferry at Anacortes, head east on Hwy 20 and follow the signs to the town of La Conner. On the National Register of Historic Places, this small town dates back to the late 1860s and is perhaps best known for its annual Tulip Festival in April, when a true profusion of tulips and daffodils are out in force. Farmland washed in spring color is a beautiful sight! Stroll the streets to enjoy the shops and restaurants, or visit the excellent Museum of Northwest Art. This museum showcases a small but outstanding selection of Northwest contemporary art, including a wonderful glass gallery and works by the mid-20th-century artists credited with envisioning the Northwest style: Guy Anderson, Kenneth Callahan, Morris Graves, and Mark Tobey. (121 South 1st Street; open Tuesday to Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm; 360-466-4446; www.museumofnwart.org.)
