Tulips in Tulip Town

We celebrated Joe's birthday in Tulip Town, about an hour north of where we live.

Brothers Henry and John Deboede immigrated from Holland in 1948. Over the years they started various nursery and tulip businesses in the Skagit Valley in Washington. Their brother Anthony immigrated from Holland to Canada and then to Skagit Valley in 1957. Anthony established Tulip Town about 20 years ago.  History of Tulip Town
