Vernon looks to tulip tourists for rescue from pandemic slump Apr 22, 2021 The big question is whether visitors to those farms can help businesses in Mt. Vernon recover. Historic downtown Mt. Vernon sits on a narrow strip of land squeezed between I-5 and the Skagit river. Just across the river are tulip farms. Every April, those farms erupt in color when the tulips bloom. Tourists flock there. On their way, many of them pass through Mt. Vernon. “They come to see the tulips — they stop for lunch or dinner,” said Nereida Caro, owner of Catrina Tacos and Beer. “It’s very important for us, the tulips.”
