What is your normal watering schedule? How often and for how long?
When were the last two times you fertilized and what did you use?
Have you use any chemical insecticide, herbicide, or fungicide in the past year? If so, what?

It needs to be seeded then fertilized once it starts to grow(4 weeks later). I would do a regular feeding in spring, summer and fall. Three pounds of nitrogen per 1000 sq ft per year is recommended. Get yourself a bag of 33-0-4(with iron) and fertilize three times a year, if you have kids or pets then DON'T buy the stuff with pesticides.

I tried to water deep and infrequently last Summer. I think it was 2-3 times a week and around 23-25 minutes each zone. I'll have to check when I am back home to see what it's set at right now. I fertilized last year at least 5 times and accidentally did a double dose the last feeding. I think I just usually use whatever is at the Walmart or Home Depot stores and know I used a weed and feed a few of the feedings last year.

I have used weed control chemicals and moss out. I will have to check which kinds when I get home.

How do I seed? Just throw down some seeds and lightly rake in some top soil? Don't I have to worry about keeping it wet for like 2-3 weeks? I'm not running the sprinklers yet so should I do that once I seed or is the rainy weather we have in Spring enough?

Optimal feeding for northern grasses (I can't tell what you have from the photos) is actually around Memorial Day, Labor Day, October, and at growth stoppage. Northern lawns don't particularly want much breakfast and always skip lunch (although lunch in summer is not likely to do much harm in Washington state).

Seeding is best done in late summer, just as temperatures start to fall off summer highs. Again, you can probably get away with a spring seeding in the climate I'm assuming you have, but it'll still be a stress on you and the lawn.

I know I say this a lot, but I see something going on there. I'd get a Logan Labs soil test.

" I fertilized last year at least 5 times and accidentally did a double dose the last feeding. "

Not good jebuzzz, that's probably why it looks so bad. Too much nitrogen can burn a lawn, always wait at least 8 weeks between feedings.

There could be other problems, I agree with getting a soil test.

On the up side, double dosing the last feeding, if it's the winterization, is far less likely to cause problems than at any other time. While 2 pounds of nitrogen per thousand is high, late fall weather in the Pacific Northwest is still cold enough that burn is improbable.

My sprinkler system is set to 30 minutes each zone and water on Monday and Thursdays. I have used scott's fertilizer and weed stop from spectracide. I also used brush killer on certain spots to kill some wild violet growing in the lawn.

I will look into getting a soil test done. Thank you everyone for your advice!!

That is the opposite of deep and infrequent watering. Infrequent on the high plains would be once every week or two in the 80-90 degree heat. Deep means a full inch as measured by filling up several cat food or tuna cans with your sprinkler system. Time how long it takes to do that and set your timer for that in every zone. then set it to go off once a month for now and then ramp up to every 3 weeks with temps in the 70s. Go to every other week in the 80s and weekly with temps in the 90s.

I'm going with either KBG or zoysia. If it was fescue or rye there would be thin spots and I don't see any. Also fescue would not turn that color unless it was dying. I have a feeling it will recover when the soil dries out.

Are you interested in organic lawn care? The approach we take is not hard, expensive, or smelly, but it works very well at greening up the grass.

This is the result of a recommendation from Logan Labs. I still don't even know what they are telling me to put on my lawn. Do I just add the stuff with #'s to the right or add all that product? If it is just the # on the right and it says 10, like Phosphorous, I add 10 lbs per 1,000 sq ft then?

Could I see the original numbers page from Logan? One, that phosphorus recommendation seems kind of high (but could be right if you have really, really low P). Potassium sulfate shouldn't go at 6# per 2 months even on a really high EC soil, you're asking for trouble. Not least of which is dumping un-absorbed K into your local aquifer.

Gypsum is great for sodic soils, or for high-magnesium, lower calcium, but high pH soil. You might have that, particularly due to overuse of dolomitic limestone by you or a previous owner, but natural soils in the Pacific Northwest tend to be more acid due to high leaching from your rainfall.

I can't figure out how to upload the PDF, so they are jpegs, sorry. Thanks for all your help!!
