The Tulip Ride began 17 years ago as a way for several Microsoft employees to blow off steam during the launch of the original Xbox. On a whim, a group rode up to the Skagit Valley Tulip festival. They extended the ride by heading to LaConner for lunch and then home by cruising down Highway 20 over Deception Pass. It was such a great day that it became an annual tradition that grew into the charity event it is today.
