When can you plant in Eatonville, WA?
Around 05/22 is the usual last spring frost, about 267 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 10/03, about 134 frost-free days later.
The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Eatonville in Zone 8a (10 to 15°F average annual minimum); frost dates are NOAA's 1991-2020 station normal, not this year's forecast.

Why 05/22 isn't a guarantee
05/22 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 05/03 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 06/09 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
