We map out the can’t-miss summer events across Skagit County, from tulips and street fairs to parades, fireworks, and art booths. Then we shift into a late-spring real estate check on what buyers can negotiate and how to think about the months ahead. 
• Tulip Festival as the big seasonal anchor, plus street fair growth, food vendors, and live music 
• Skagit County Fair highlights, from petting zoo to rides, plus a memorable ride rescue story 
• Sedro-Woolley Fourth of July plans, parade to barbecue to Riverfront Park fireworks 
• Berry Dairy Days weekend schedule, parade, vendors, and fireworks 
• Mount Vernon Cinco de Mayo parade, downtown closures, community pride, and local businesses 
• Highland Games at Riverfront Park and the Anacortes Arts Festival downtown 
• Market snapshot in late spring, three-month supply of inventory, more balanced pricing 
• Buyer strategies, closing cost credits, possible price drops, and more room to negotiate 
• Contingent offers feeling more doable when the pace slows
