As of right now, those iconic trees are slated to reach "peak bloom" on March 20, according to the UW. "Peak bloom" is when 70% of the blossoms have opened.
If you can't join the massive crowds sure to pack the Quad that day,
though, have no fear: Visitors can still get an "optimal viewing
experience" the week before and after peak, according to the UW.
The cherry blossoms typically hit peak bloom between March 12 and
April 3, with an average date of March 23. The UW says many plants
started blooming a little earlier than usual this year because of the
region's mild winter.
