Workers harvesting tulips at a Skagit Valley tulip field.
Each April more than a million people will come to see 300 acres of rich color in bloom on the Skagit River delta outside of Mount Vernon, a town of 30,000 an hour north of Seattle.
A Dutch immigrant, William Roozen, is the patriarch of a family that is key to the area's colorful harvest. Roozen, means 'roses' in Dutch. The family bulb growing goes back to the mid-1700s!
