It's almost that time when grand canopies of pink blossoms burst out in the Seattle area. Here's when most of the blossoms will likely be in full bloom this year.

The world-famous cherry blossoms in Washington D.C. are getting ready to emerge from their seasonal slumber, and now visitors can officially plan when to be in the nation's capital to experience peak bloom.

The National Park Service has announced that peak bloom this year for the signature cherry blossom trees of Washington, D.C., will begin between March 28 and 31.

But the best guess, as of publication, is that the blooms will be in view toward the middle of the month, around Monday, March 17. Visitors can check Duke Gardens’ website ( gardens.duke.edu/cherry-blossoms) to see daily photo updates and soon, watch a livestream of the cherry allée. Last year, peak bloom was around March 20, 2024.

The National Park Service projects the cherry blossom trees that line the Tidal Basin in D.C. will likely be at peak bloom from March 28 to 31.
