Skagit County is located in the northwestern part of the state of Washington and covers an area of approximately 1,920 square miles. The area was originally inhabited by indigenous people, primarily the Upper Skagit, Swinomish, Samish, and Sauk-Suiattle tribes. British and American fur trappers and traders ventured into the region in the early 1800s.

The U.S. and Britain jointly occupied the area, defined by the Oregon Treaty in 1846. As American settlers began to establish a presence in the Pacific Northwest, Skagit County became part of the newly formed Washington Territory in 1853. Washington ultimately achieved statehood in 1889.

The Treaty of Point Elliott in 1855 between the United States and the local tribes established the Swinomish Indian Reservation, which is still present in Skagit County today. Skagit County was officially created in 1883, named after the Skagit River, which flows through the region and is the third-largest river on the west coast of the United States.

The primary industries in Skagit County have historically been agriculture, forest products, and fisheries. The city of Anacortes was founded in 1877 and became a key port in the county, with the aim of rivaling Seattle. The rich soil, mild climate, and abundant water facilitated the growth of the county's agricultural sector, with innumerable farms growing crops such as berries, spinach, cucumbers, and tulips.

One fun fact about Skagit County is its annual Tulip Festival, held every April. This colorful event draws thousands of visitors to the region to take in the breathtaking sight of hundreds of acres of blooming tulip fields. The festival includes art shows, musical performances, and other community activities. The Skagit Valley Tulip Festival has become a significant tourist attraction and an emblem of the region's agricultural roots.
