Skagit Wild Bird Supply on Memorial Highway in Mount Vernon has been providing those of us who feed birds with quality seed and birding products for many years.  Several friends have asked me recently if the store is open during the COVID-19 crisis.

The good news is that the store is open and you can still purchase bird seed and supplies there.  I recently purchased bird seed from the store and found that they have implemented some of the best procedures I have found in local businesses during the COVID-19 crisis.  The store only allows entry to employees.  You can call ahead with orders or call from their parking lot (360 424-5575) and the store will deliver the order to your vehicle.  At this time the hours are limited to Wednesday through Saturday from 10am until  3pm.  Payment is limited to credit and debit cards.
