WAWG
From NASS
There were 7 days suitable for fieldwork in Washington, up from 6.8 days the previous week. Statewide temperatures were mostly normal.
In Snohomish County, berries were running late, but crops were looking great. Cool weather crops were flourishing. Cucurbits started to take off, but tomatoes and peppers struggled.
In central Washington, the weather was hot and dry. Canola harvest began. In Klickitat County, most first cuttings of hay were completed, and about half of the second cutting was down and started to get baled. Cattle had sufficient pasture. In Yakima County, no precipitation was received for the second consecutive week. Raspberry harvest slowed down as the hot weather settled in. Bins were placed in peach, nectarine and pear orchards in anticipation of fruit harvest. In addition to green beans, cucumbers, summer squash, eggplant, garlic and onions, peppers and sweet corn were found at roadside vegetable stands. Most hop bins crested the top of the trellis and were setting flowers.
In northeast Washington, temperatures were warm and dry. In east central Washington, canola and winter wheat harvests began. In southeast Washington, harvest started even as temperatures rose.
