Washington County Oregon

Expert Response

Thank you for your question.  Did you start them from seed or from sets (bulbs)?  Washington is known for its sweet onions, and has this advice:  https://s3.wp.wsu.edu/uploads/sites/2071/2014/04/Onions-FS097E.pdf
Your variety are long day.  Since most sweet onions are grown east of the Cascades, the only information from OSU arises out of Eastern Oregon:  https://horticulture.oregonstate.edu/oregon-vegetables/onions-dry-bulb-eastern-oregon
I hope this helps.  Good luck!
