The Sweet Science of Rainier Cherries | Seattle News

Washington’s Rainier cherries—golden, honey-sweet, and grown only in the Pacific Northwest—are nature’s tree candy, born from a WSU breeding breakthrough. Peak season runs late June to July, celebrated with National Rainier Cherry Day on June 28. Though pricier at around $7.99 a pound, their unique flavor justifies the cost. Pick them by green stems and a pinkish blush, store chilled, and avoid washing until ready to eat. Freeze extras to savor summer’s sweetness year-round.
