If you are planning to check out the cherry blossoms at the University of Washington this year, a new website can help you plan your ideal visit.
What's happening: The UW has unveiled an online cherry blossom visitor's guide that features updates on the trees' current state of bloom, as well as campus maps and transit directions.
- You can look at a live webcam of the cherry blossoms to know exactly what level of blooming you're in for when you arrive.
- Or, follow the website's "bloom watch" predictions and come in early April, when the blossoms are expected to reach their peak. (It's a little later than usual this year, on account of the cold winter.)
Plus: If you'd like to see cherry blossoms but don't want to fight the crowd at the UW quad, you can check out these other options we've compiled from around the region.
