And I'm going by an excerpt in U.T. (History of G&C) where it mentions Sauron's invasion over Eriador after sacking the city of Hollin. He was ready to proceed to Mithlond and some where along those lines, it states his thoughts that, "Lorien could wait for now," which means he knew of this Elvish settlement already (thus it had to be important). Perhaps he knew Galadriel was there after convincing the Mirdain to wrest the power of Eregion from her?

This detail is from
Concerning Galadriel and Celeborn, and
in this text Galadriel was in Lórien when Sauron attacked Eregion, and Sauron guessed the truth: the Three had been commited to Elvish guardians:
'and that must mean Galadriel and Gil-galad'.
Sauron was angered and not finding the Three, and moreover, with the Dwarves of Moria the Elves of Lórien under Amroth (here Galadriel's son) attack Sauron in Eriador. Sauron decides to gain mastery of Eriador, with Lindon his next objective, and there:
'he believed that he had most chance of seizing one, or more, of the Three Rings' (keeping in mind he could not pass through Moria now) and:
'Lórinand could wait.'
But in my opinion certain elements of this text were abandoned (along with Amroth being Galadriel's son). I'll not go into that in detail now, but at least one of two later (but competing!) notes puts Galadriel in Lindon, with no indication (at least) that she had ever been to Lórien. Celeborn would meet her later according to this note, and it seems
possible that Galadriel fled to Lindon with Nenya before Sauron came with war.
Anyway, Sauron was defeated at this time as we know, and your question seems to be more about the Third Age. Concerned to learn news of the growing shadow in Dol Guldur, it is noted that Galadriel and Celeborn travel to Lórien, stayed there 'long', then took long journeys of enquiry in Rhovanion, and passed to Imladris. (incidentally, in
The Quest of Erebor Gandalf notes that he thought Sauron planned to attack Lórien and Rivendell as soon as he was strong enough, but this is in a much later context in any event, after Gandalf had entered Dol Guldur it seems).
Keeping in mind that Sauron had lost the One (with it also being noted that he had struck to soon, before his own power was rebuilt), in the period concerned, roughly TA 1050 to TA 1981, among other events we have: the invasion of Arnor, civil war in Gondor, the Great Plague, the defeat of the Witch-king, and ultimately the loss of Amroth. Concerning the Plague at least, Appendix A notes this much (not that there isn't more to note here):

'It is true that the enemies of Gondor also suffered, or they might have overwhelmed it in its weakness; but Sauron could wait, and it may be that the opening of Mordor was what he chiefly desired.' (just over 200 years later, the attacks of the Wainraiders upon Gondor begin).

In any case, the matter of Galadriel's movements in the Third Age might carry a further obscurity: there's a note 'elsewhere' (as briefly described by Christopher Tolkien), and all it really says is that when the Shadow of Sauron's recovery arose, Galadriel and Celeborn:
'dwelt there [Lórien] again for a long time' and it was not until the disaster in Moria that they took up their permanent abode in Lórien and its government.
How long did they remain in Lórien at this point? Not sure. I have imaginatively merged parts of the 'elsewhere note' with the other later chronology that touches upon the Third Age (the Rhovanion enquiry and etc) -- I find no great reason not to, but that is still a bit of an assumption, especially considering we appear to have so little to go on externally here.
I would agree the period concerned is considerable enough, especially from a mortal perspective, but these points might be further considerations to add to the mix.
