Best Time to Visit

Best Time to Visit

Located in the uppermost western part of the USA, Lynden is characterized by a combination of oceanic humidity, strong wind and relatively high latitude that makes temperatures quite cold from October to March. Winter is also the season when precipitation reaches its peak, and the lowest temperatures keep many tourists from visiting this region. While late spring offers pleasant temperatures and budget-friendly accommodations, the summer months, particularly mid-to-late July, bring the town to life with the beloved Raspberry Festival. This signature event transforms Lynden with basketball tournaments, the Razz & Shine Car Show, Raspberry Fun Run, and immersive tours of raspberry farms and wineries
