The Sequim Lavender Festival is the third weekend in July. Craft fairs, food tents, entertainment and many, many lavender farms putting on their best show makes the event extremely popular. For more information visit www.lavenderfestival.com.
Purple Haze Lavender in Sequim is located on 180 Bell Bottom Lane, and even if you miss the Lavender Festival this is a great place to visit through the end of August. They are open daily, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. You can stroll their fields for free, buy organic lavender products in their store or even stay overnight in a beautifully-appointed farmhouse they have for rent.
