Driving Directions: Burlington to Happy Time Mount Vernon
Getting here from Burlington could not be simpler. You have two clean routes depending on where you are starting from:
Via I-5 (fastest route, about 7 minutes): Get on I-5 South from Burlington. Drive approximately four miles south and take Exit 227 for College Way. Turn left (east) onto E College Way.

Via Burlington Boulevard / Highway 20 (scenic route, about 10 minutes): Head south from Burlington on Burlington Boulevard, which turns into S Burlington Blvd as you cross into the Mount Vernon area.

Why Burlington Residents Choose Happy Time
Burlington is a great town with its own identity, but when it comes to cannabis selection, a seven-minute drive to Mount Vernon opens up a significantly larger product catalog. Happy Time stocks over 888 products from 110 brands across seven categories: flower, pre-rolls, edibles, concentrates, vapes, tinctures, and topicals.
That depth matters because it means you are choosing what you actually want instead of settling for what a smaller shop happens to have. Looking for a specific strain? We probably carry it. Want to compare three or four edible brands side by side? We have them on the shelf. Interested in trying a new concentrate format? We stock multiple options across different producers and price points.
Pricing is the other factor. Working with 110 brands gives us purchasing leverage that translates directly to competitive shelf prices. On top of that, we run daily deals that rotate across product categories. Burlington shoppers who check our Mount Vernon menu before heading south regularly save money compared to shopping closer to home.
I-5 Convenience: Right Off the Exit
Our location on College Way sits right off I-5 Exit 227, which makes us a natural stop for anyone traveling the interstate corridor through Skagit Valley. Burlington residents who commute south toward Everett or Seattle pass our exit every day. Stopping on the way home takes literally no extra time beyond the two minutes you spend inside the store.
It also makes us convenient for Burlington residents heading north who want to grab their order before getting on the highway. Order online through our menu, pick up on your way through, and you are back on I-5 without missing a beat.
Skagit Valley as a whole revolves around the I-5 corridor, and having a full-service dispensary right off a major exit means you never have to detour to a hard-to-find location on some back road. We are where the traffic already flows.
