Washington Solunar Calendar — August 2026

The August 2026 solunar calendar for Washington covers every day of the month, with the major and minor deer movement windows, moon phase, and a fused 0–100 hunt score computed for the state's geographic center (47.40°N, 121.49°W, Pacific Time). The month moves through the Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, Waning Crescent, New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous and Full Moon phases, and the table below shows when each window opens and closes for that location. Whitetail rut peak in Washington is mid-November (blacktail / mule deer / whitetail in NE), so the days closest to that window are the ones to flag early. Archery is open early September – late September, firearm mid-October – early November (unit-dependent) for hunters in the field. Pacific Northwest cover is Cascade rainforest, Columbia Basin shrub-steppe, and Olympic peninsula timber, which shifts the value of a strong major window — wind in big timber moves scent differently than wind across open ag, and the solunar overlay is most useful when read against that terrain context.
