Almost at the corner of Kitchen-Dick and Old Olympic Highway is a new development called Discovery Trail Farm. It offers eight 1 acre custom home sites, a private, paved taxiway to the Sequim Valley Airport, panoramic views of the Olympic Mountains, and is adjacent to the 150 mile Olympic Discovery Trail. All you need is bring your own airplane. The view is spectacular!

This display at a friend’s home caught my eye! Happy weekend.

Healthy Families sponsored a vigil Thursday to pause and reflect on the loss of 60 victims in the state of Washington who died this year as a result of domestic violence. The Silent Witness Display in the Sequim Park by the Bank of America was made up of life size wooden cutouts with the tragic and senseless story of domestic violence that led to the loss of a life. The Sequim Coalition for Healthy Families assisted with the financial cost of bringing this moving display to the Olympic Peninsula.

If you can believe the Sequim Gazette, every where you turn there is new construction. (An article in today’s newspaper) Maybe you don’t have to read the paper…just look around. I stopped by the new Rite Aide complex. Although Rite Aide is scheduled to open November 1st, I think this annex building is a little farther behind. I noticed a number of businesses working on the new Rite Aide. (thumbnails below)

I’m not sure why the Sequim School District is short of drivers. There was a story in the local papers, yet this sign is still up at the middle school. It is a part time job; a split shift; and a huge responsibility! I could come up with lots of reasons…not enough money to support a family…age of our population, but I wonder if the money has something to do with it. What do school bus drivers make in your area?

This lovely Angel Wing Begonia should not look this good in what is almost the middle of October. I swear I took the photo this last weekend. It must be in just the right spot, or perhaps Andrew May, of Sequim/Port Angeles gardening fame, is right…take care of your baskets and they should last until November in our climate.
