Short trip to Tulalip WA.....

The border crossing in the morning at Peace Arch point

Where exactly is this place Tulalip WA...


Seattle Premium Outlets is conveniently located off Interstate 5 (I5), just 30 minutes north of Seattle and two hours south of Vancouver BC near Marysville. The outlet has over 110 brand-name stores and manufacturer outlets. As you can imagine this is quite a popular destination for Canadians fond of shopping and gambling.



Some of the outlets are :Adidas, Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, Burberry, Calvin Klein, Coach, Gap Outlet, Guess, Nike, Polo Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, as well as restaurants, the famous Tulalip Resort Casino and a large Wall mart at which we regularly shop.
