Fleur Couture: A Sneak Peek at 2020’s Northwest Flower and Garden Festival

Here’s more about Sequim’s Lavender Festival that takes place each July, tips for visiting, information about a few of the farms, and a link to an interative map of area lavender farms you might want to visit.

Pacific Northwest Event Calendar Outdoor Stage at Thing NW Review 2019

About that THING…

We attended THING, Adam Zack’s (of Sasquatch! fame) new multidisciplinary music and arts festival at Fort Worden in Port Townsend. It included a varied lineup of entertainment and was worthwhile overall, with, we think a few learning experiences for next year if there is another THING coming.
