A Visit to Purple Haze Organic Lavender Farm
Sequim is a town located on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State along the Dungeness River near the base of the Olympic Mountains.
Each summer the cool fresh air flows in off the Strait of Juan de Fuca and mixes with the 300 days of sunshine thanks to the rain shadow created when Olympic Mountains filter the incoming storms hogging all the precipitation.
It’s considered to be the lavender capital of North America because lavender plants flourish in the unique combination of dry soil and cool air.

Purple Haze is just one of the many lavender farms in the area. Dogs are welcome as long as they are on leash.
Definitely take time to wander through the lavender fields. The smell is heavenly.
We spent time strolling in Sunflower fields capturing pics.
Whether you’re looking to explore your own backyard or planning a trip to the great northwest, the lavender farms on the Olympic Peninsula are an absolute must!
