Which way to go? This one’s a no brainer for me.

Duck! More yarn bombs!
In addition to decorating one of Sequim’s purple bike racks this weekend, our yarn bombers decorated posts outside the Sunshine Cafe with garlands of yarn constructions. I for one applaud this fuzzy graffito that disappears after its brief run of fun.
Return of the Yarn Bombers
Just in time for the Lavender Festival: Sequim’s Yarn Bombers have added whimsy to our downtown. (Either that or we have some unusual visitors this year.) Here’s Pink Lady out for a stroll with her dog on North Sequim Avenue.
Lavender Lady is nearby.
Lavender Lady holds a small lavender bouquet.
And hovering about Lavender Lady’s skirt are the ever-present bees that love our lavender. The ladies are, justifiably, attracting lots of attention.
More yarn bombing tomorrow. (Thank you, SAM, for alerting me to this latest bombing siege!)
Get close
Move in. Breathe deeply. Repeat.
Seeing purple
In addition to being a go-to location for u-pick berries, Graysmarsh Farms has a hillside of lavender and sells lavender products. Visitors can walk through the fields to pick their lavender. It’s looking very good this week.
Although I’ve featured several larger farms this week, Sequim also has many smaller operations that welcome visitors during our July Lavender Faire and Festival. The Lavender Connection sells a variety of u-pick lavenders and products.
If you plan to come, visit the Sequim Tourism website for maps and event schedules.
Did someone say “lavender?”
Olympic Lavender Farm was sold to new owners last year and if I’m not mistaken it also has a new sign. The owners have two other lavender growing sites in the Dungeness area in addition to this five acre plot.
The Olympic Lavender farm is 19 years old and plans are afoot to plant thousands of additional lavender plants here this fall. Like many of our other farms, Olympic Lavender has a farm store and a variety of lavender products created with their organic blossoms.
