I was in the State of Washington this Saturday. My lanlord(a couple) invited me to go to Sequim to visit the Lavender Festival. Vancouver is pretty close to the US-Canada border, so a lot of people, epecially BC and Washington residents, spend weekend on another country. In addition, because Canadian dollar is so strong now (1 cdn:1 usd compare to 1cdn: 068 usd 5 years ago), so many Canadian go down to the States shopping. Follwing is a brief introduction of the annual Lavender festival in Sequim. "
Sequim is located on Washington State 's Olympic Peninsula cradled in the "Rain Shadow" of the Olympic Mountains and the world-famous Olympic National Park. The Sequim-Dungeness Valley has an ideal microclimate for growing lavender. With less than 20 inches of rain per year, the area is similar to the Provence region of France where this amazing herb is native. Because of the unique conditions and dedicated farmers, Sequim lavender has received national recognition for its superior quality. Our farmers have over 200 years of combined experience cultivating lavender, determining ideal varieties, developing the best planting and growing practices, and creating lavender products. Visit eight beautiful Farms on Tour in the stunning Sequim-Dungeness Valley. Growers share their techniques for cultivating, drying and using lavender, and visitors experience the perfume and beauty of this captivating herb. See dozens of varieties with colors and scents from sweet whites to crisp purples, while enjoying the sunshine, mountain views, scented breezes and open spaces of the Sequim-Dungeness Valley."
