| ANybody ever gone to this? Worth it--crowded? If you have been to this did you take the bus tour or drive your car? I'm thinking of going but I'd be driving from the other side of WA. JoAnn |

JoAnn, I used to live on the other side of the mtns., although I never went to the Lavender Festival I've talked to many who did, they all say it is well worth it. It's a huge event over there, if you go, have a great time!!
live, laugh, love |

I have a former co-worker & a gal-pal friend who both live up there in Sequim,,,each year they send me tons of info on the upcoming Lavender Fest...Oh I how I wish I could make it.....but one of these days I will, after all, it's on my "Bucket List" of things to do!
If you go Joann, let us know all about it.

| It's really hard to find an affordable available room nearby. I found one that looked adorable and describes itself as "vintage"--only problem was they had a fire earlier this year. I'm waiting for a call from the owners to see if they will have any rooms open soon.JoAnn |

Joann- I have been several times and I LOVED it, we are going next year...friends of ours live in Kingston and they go yearly. Do buy essential oil at jardin du soleil (the least expensive is what I get and they have the cutest tiny bottles to have for gifting or travel)- I just ran out of my last bottle and it is the best lavender oil I have ever found! Purple Haze is a great stop for lunch and their lavender salad dressing leaves my mouth watering just thinking about it- you can buy it by the case. It was not too crowded in my opinion...busy but not crazy... and such a lovely part of washington. Since we stayed with friends I am not sure about accommodations but I have stayed up at Fort Warden in Port Townsend and it was a blast- not sure how far away that is? There is beach camping and it is an old army base with great hikes up to the old bunkers.
Have Fun!

| Rebekka, Thanks for the information. I will indeed buy the essential oil. I did find a place to stay about 45 minutes away. The "vintage" landmark motel has reopened a few rooms and I got one. No tv or phone in the rooms but in a pretty setting. I also plan to visit Poulsbo on the way home. Then on to Camano Island where my sister-in-law just found out she sold her home and has to be out by the end of the month so I am going to help her pack. On the way home I will go on the North Cascades Scenic Highway--it's so beautiful it takes your breath away.Can't wait. JoAnn |

Loved it! I went last year with 2 of my daughters. Loved walking through row after row of lavander. We drove, as with a baby, the bus seemed not such a good idea. If I go again, I think I would do the bus, as traffic was a bit crazy. It is well worth the trip!
