OUR STORY

Where Sequim's Lavender Story Began

In 1997, a bold experiment on Marine Drive — originally called Olympic Lavender — planted the seeds for what would become the Lavender Capital of North America. Now under new ownership as Lit Lavender, we're carrying that pioneering spirit forward with fresh energy — inviting you to stay among the rows, breathe in the fragrance, and experience the next chapter of something magical.

THE SCIENCE

Why Sequim?

The Rain Shadow Effect

Nestled in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains, Sequim receives only 16 inches of rain per year — less than Los Angeles. This unique microclimate, combined with rich glacial soil and long summer days, creates conditions remarkably similar to Provence, France.

Lavender thrives in well-drained soil with full sun and minimal humidity — exactly what Sequim delivers. Our farm's position on Marine Drive offers ideal south-facing exposure and natural wind protection.

What Makes Lit Lavender Special

  • 1,500+ mature plants across heritage varieties
  • 300+ days of sunshine per year in Sequim's rain shadow
  • Olympic Mountain views from every row of the farm
  • Est. 1997 as Olympic Lavender — now reimagined as Lit Lavender
