Sequim’s historic grain elevator is the tallest structure in town. The base of the structure was built in 1929 as a storage warehouse; the grain elevator was completed in 1945. It operated as the old Clallam Co-Op until 1977. More recently it was home to El Cazador Restaurant which closed a couple of years ago. In 2014 auctions were planned to sell off the foreclosed property and there was talk of the Museum and Arts Center (MAC) acquiring it. Last July there was news of a “pending offer” to purchase it but I’ve seen nothing since.
This view of the elevator on a clear day shows the Cascade Mountains in the distance to the east.
I would have enjoyed seeing a restaurant in that structure. It would make a fine museum, I think.
I do hope someone takes good care of it!
Great composition – love the colors, and the info.
Beautiful shot- hopefully something gets done with it.
Lovely shot. While I can see the grain elevator from my home, I’ve not viewed it from this direction.
I have seen the evaluator but never eaten at the restaurant.
I hate to see old iconic structures becoming imperiled as life and the times change around them.
