Strawberry season in the Seattle area is short, sweet, and typically peaks in June — so if you want to enjoy strawberry picking near Seattle and get farm-fresh berries straight from the vine, now’s the time to plan your u-pick adventure.
Look for festivals to celebrate the summer harvest season, like Vashon’s Strawberry Festival, happening in July. Enjoy jams, pies, lemonade, and strawberry shortcake. Don’t miss the parade, dancing, artists, and vendor booths, too.
If you’re planning on strawberry picking near Seattle, here are a few tips to make the most of your berry-picking outing:
- Always check farm websites (or better yet, Facebook pages) on the day you plan to go to make sure they’re open. Some farms are open daily; others only on select days and times. Farms can be weather-dependent and will often close early if picked over.
- The early bird gets the … strawberry. Mornings are your best bet as fields can get picked over by lunchtime.
- U-pick fields mean lots of direct sun, so bring your sunscreen, hats and plenty of water.
- While most farms accept cards, do bring along cash or checks just in case.
- Many farms provide containers free of charge, but consider packing along a few extra pails of your own.
- If your strawberry picking doesn’t go as planned (we’ve all been there), no worries! Most farms sell boxes of fresh-picked berries (along with other must-try goodies).
