Well Jim, their own site says this:
The total amount of acreage devoted to bulb and flower growing in the Skagit
Valley has increased greatly over the years, although it is now threatened by
constantly encroaching development. In 1945, just 325 acres were planted with
a value of approximately $300,000. By 1997 approximately 7,000 acres were
used for bulb farming, with a value of $42 million.
Maybe she misquoted?
