When can you plant in Sedro-Woolley, WA?

Zone 8b

Around 03/27 is the usual last spring frost, about 211 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 11/06, about 224 frost-free days later.

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Sedro-Woolley in Zone 8b (15 to 20°F average annual minimum); frost dates are NOAA's 1991-2020 station normal, not this year's forecast.

What to do before the first frost

About 10 weeks of growing season left in Sedro-Woolley before the first fall frost — a cold frame or row cover can stretch harvest weeks past that date.

Why 03/27 isn't a guarantee

03/27 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 03/08 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 04/17 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
