A self-guided journey through local gardens, family-owned farms, markets, bakeries, eateries, artisanal producers, farmstays, and experiences of the magical Skagit River Valley & Salish Sea. Nestled between the Cascade Mountains and the Salish Sea, cared for by the Swinomish people for generations, Skagit Valley is a meeting place of abundance. Unlike anywhere else on earth, all five salmon species swim up the Skagit River and feed the farms with rich nutrients. These fields produce grains, flowers, vegetables, and fruit, while shellfish is harvested at low tide. We curated these trails with so many experiences in one place to help you explore what Skagit Valley has to offer. We hope you learn, indulge, and explore every depth of your curiosities along the way. Whether dancing through flower fields, tasting oysters by the sea, or attending snow geese ballets, the adventure is up to you!

Visitors to Skagit Valley can pick up their passport at any of the museum locations, the City of Burlington Visitor Center/Chamber of Commerce, area visitor centers & The Historic Lincoln Theatre.
