Field note
The bloom is over for the year.
Lavender rests over the winter and blooms again from mid-June. Some farms keep their doors open into the fall. The 31st annual festival is July 16–18, 2027.
Since 1996, Sequim’s growers have turned a rain shadow into a lavender valley.
The festival at Carrie Blake Park · July 2025Why Sequim
The Olympic rain shadow.
The Olympic Mountains catch the Pacific storms before they reach the valley, so Sequim gets about 16 inches of rain a year, about the same as Los Angeles. A year-long study of the rain shadow counted 127 mostly sunny days, compared with 88 in downtown Seattle. Dry, sunny summers are exactly what lavender wants.
