Dave and I attended the Lavender Festival in Sequim, Washington. What fun! It was even better because we took the ferry from Edmonds to Kingston.
There are over 20 Lavender farms in the Sequim area and while we did not visit all of them, we did get to see what a field of Lavender looks like - beautiful, and smelly-good.

In town the festival was a colossal tourist trap with balloons and music - just so you knew what kind of trap you were stepping into and enjoy being caught. It was truly all about Lavender. You could buy aprons, seasoning, lavender-lemonade, plants, paintings, ceramic items, lavender sugar and tea, sachets, essential oils, have a massage, and of course you could eat. When going to a u-pick farm it was about $8 for a twist-tie full (using both hands make a circle).

The Lavender Festival is always the third weekend in July in Sequim, WA. See you there!
