SEQUIM — They’re right on the brink of bursting.
Not the lavender plants. Those are already blooming and will keep growing more purple as summer goes on.
On this Lavender Festival weekend, it’s the local people, with talents as diverse as the hundreds of lavender varieties, who’ll make the North Olympic Peninsula-flavored party.
Farmers, musicians, cooks, bakers, winemakers, bus drivers, bicyclists, artists and at least one yogini will converge on downtown Sequim and the lavender fields surrounding it.
Christine Withers is one example. She’ll start today and Saturday morning with a yoga class under a tree at the Cedarbrook Lavender & Herb Farm, 1345 S. Sequim Ave.
Then, “on Sunday, I’m going to help with breakfast,” at the farm’s Garden Cafe, Withers added.
Cedarbrook co-owner Marcella Stachurski came up with the idea for the classes.
Withers, along with working at the farm, runs the Simply Yoga studio in Sequim.
