Washington Lavender Bloom
 

Has anyone visited the Washington valley where there are several lavender farms? I understand they have a "festival" in July, but lodging in the valley is limited. How did you like the visit? Any B&B or small motel recommendations?

Thanks!

We have been to the Lavender festival in Sequim,WA and it is awesome!!! It is located on the Olympic Pennisula and if you type in Sequim, Wa you can go to the Chamber of Commerce website and get info.There is a wonderful german woman who runs a B&B and her name is Helga, we have stayed with her and I highly reccomend her!!!Her website is www. helgasedelweissbnb.com the festival is July 14 2006 and I would make reservations soon. Hope this info helps, have fun!!!

Thanks Charlios!

Would you say 2 nights and one day would be enough for a visit? From there, we are planning to go on to Vancouver and Victoria.

Hi Dayle,

We also spent a few days in Sequim and would recommend it. Two nights and one day would be enough to enjoy the town and the lavendar farms. We enjoyed "pick your own" lavendar farms - big beautiful long stemmed bunches for $5 to 10. Even if you can't time it with the festival, it's worth a stop.

My inlaws lived in Sequim and got to know several of the lavender farms quite well. Their favorite (mine too) is Purple Haze Lavender (www.purplehazelavender.com). Nice photo tour on their web site. The Sequim area is a beautiful part of WA state (lovely climate). For more info on the lavender festival and the farms, go to www.lavendergrowers.org

Thanks to all and Merry Christmas!
