Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
The strawberry season will soon be over and it will be time for raspberries. (Mine are coming on strong!) These folks are at Cameron U-Pick strawberries off Woodcock Road, between Kitchen Dick and Cay Roads. They are worth the effort!
12 more days till the Lavender Festival and the Quilt Show!
Overlooking the Sequim Valley Prarie is a lovely old cememtery. I enjoy stopping by when the light is just right in the evening and looking at the old stones. This cemetery is off Cay Road. In the thumbnail you can see the foot hills of the Olympic Mountains to the south and flat farm land, irrigated by water from the Dungeness River.
At the corner of 5th and Washington, you will find an old grain elevator sprouting from the middle of a great Mexican Restaurant, El Cazador. Click on the links to learn more of Sequim’s agricultural past.
P.S. Besides having killer maragaritas, the food and service are also excellent.
Need a great lunch with a little atmosphere? Jean’s is the place! On North Second Ave, between Washington and Bell, Jean’s is located in the historic St. Luke’s Episcopal Church. I believe it was built in 1896. This is not the original location of the church.
Try the “honey bun”…or the “lemon lush”. You won’t be disapointed.
Happy Fourth of July! This is my neighbor’s dog, Wylie, getting in the spirit. For those of you with animals, please remember to keep them safe today, tonight and through out the weekend. Some animals are tramatized by loud noises.
If you head East past Maple Valley Farm, you will come to a “Stop”…do not enter. This is Battelle. I have no idea what all they do there other than what the sign says…you can check out their web site and find out more details. I used to know someone that worked there…the most closed mouth person I ever met.
The DCP Portal has been skipping a day with my posts. If you didn’t see the quilt from yesterday…or the Purple Haze post, I hope you will go back and take a look.
John Wayne Marina was built on 22 acres donated by the family of “The Duke”. The boats run the gambit of darn big to small crabbing boats. They had a pretty decent restaurant, currently undergoing major renovation.
