Lavender season is upon Sequim.

Most farms are open now, with festivities beginning at one farm this weekend — Washington Lavender Farm’s two-week festival July 8-17 at 965 Finn Hall Road — and more to come across the area during Sequim Lavender Weekend July 15-17 and through the summer.

Following last year’s festivities, many farmers reported an improved turnout after seeing a downturn the year before due to COVID-19 and event restrictions. Various varieties of lavender are beginning to bloom across the area.

This year, more activities have been added and/or brought back, including the Sequim Lavender Festival Street Fair on July 15-17 in Carrie Blake Community Park, barn dances July 15-16 at Victor’s Lavender Farm, 3743 Old Olympic Highway, and the Sunbonnet Sue Quilt Show on July 16 at Pioneer Memorial Park, 387 E. Washington St.

For full information, look for the special section in the community, maps at many Sequim businesses, and at sequimlavenderweekend.com.
