It's Spring in the Northwest. Finally!
After another wet, cold winter, spring may have finally arrived in the Northwest. And that means there are all kinds of opportunities to enjoy local events or explore corners of our region that you might not be familiar with or haven't been in a while.
Enjoy great coastal cuisine, arts and crafts, wine tasting and more in Oregon's historic Astoria and Warrenton area. The 2013 Festival runs April 26, 27 and 28 at the Clatsop County Fairgrounds on Highway 202. VisitOldOregon.com for more information.
Every April, Washington's Skagit Valley explodes with color. The Festival is a month long affair, with different events happening throughout the month of April. Roam the tulip fields, enjoy tastings at area wineries and breweries or participate in the Tulip Run on April 6th. You can find all the information you need at the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival website.
In Eastern Washington, you can take part in the annual Bloomsday Run. The run coincides with the annual Lilac Festival, which includes events throughout the month of May. This year, the annual 12K run is on May 5th and supports Spokane's Martin Luther King, Jr. Family Outreach Center.
You can learn more about the run at BloomsdayRun.com and about the Lilac Festival at SpokaneLilacFestival.org.
