It's the end of February and the tulips are still weeks away. How about a change of pace? Pack up the family and head north to the Smelt Festival in La Conner.

There are hot-dog options for lunch, a raffle and plenty of kids' activities during the day, as well as tours of the historic schooner Rejoice, given by the local Sea Scouts.
