The annual Cherry Blossoms Festival at the University of Washington is fast approaching. Each year the campus awakens with beautiful cherry blossoms, as well as other flowers, throughout the campus. Hundreds of people come to see the blossoming trees each year near the end of March. As noted, hundreds of people visit, so expect the campus to be quite busy. We visited during the middle of the week and still encountered plenty of other people. You can keep an eye on the status of the blossoms and when to visit by checking out the university’s web camera. The areas around campus are awakening just like the cherry blossoms with restaurants and businesses partaking cherry blossomed themed food and specials surrounding the university. Additionally, the grounds of the university are quite lovely, so the festival makes for a wonderful way to get outside and enjoy the early reminders of spring!
