Photo Adventures: Washington Lavender Farm | Sequim, Washington

Ever since I got my first camera in high school, I’ve had a list of locations for photo adventures saved in the Notes app on my phone. If I drive by a cool place, I add it to the list. See a picture of a pretty location online? It goes on the list. Find a hike with iconic views on the Washington Trails Association Trail Finder? It’s definitely on the list.

Over the years of visiting Sequim, a photoshoot at a lavender field has been on the photo adventure list for quite sometime. After spending time searching the various lavender fields in the area, I found the Washington Lavender Farm and quickly added it to my Notes app. Lavender is a seasonal plant, so most lavender fields in western Washington are open from around Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend. I promised myself that this would be the year I would go!

Sequim is a small town in Washington and from the first time I visited as a kid, I’ve loved it. Maybe it’s the beautiful views of the Olympic Mountains, the waterfront views, or the fact that it’s the least rainy place in Washington that made me fall in love with Sequim.

Not far from downtown Sequim, is the Washington Lavender Farm, an oceanfront lavender farm at the George Washington Inn & Estate. It’s open to the public at no cost.

I hope you get a chance to visit this pretty lavender farm! If you do, don’t forget to visit the cute gift shop for all things lavender. I got lavender shortbread cookies and lavender English Breakfast tea — they’re both SO good!
