Looking for something fun and different to do this weekend? The city of Sequim celebrates its fourteenth annual   Lavender Festival this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, July 16, 17, and 18. Numerous farms boast sumptuous fields of lavender, and the festival presents an ideal opportunity to explore one of the Olympic Peninsula’s most beautiful regions. It provides visitor and resident alike an experience unique to the Pacific Northwest, as Sequim is one of the few internationally recognized lavender producers in North America. Visit Sequim’s downtown shops and street festival for all things lavender, or drive along the Dungeness to visit the lavender farms themselves.
