Have you seen this barn?

If you’ve ever driven through Sequim on Highway 101, you’re likely to have seen this barn. It’s at the eastbound exit to Sequim Avenue looking forgotten and forlorn. And it’s for sale.

In the background to the left is one of Sequim’s little subdivisions at the base of Bell Hill.

The barn looks sad to me and a little haunted with memories of days when it was active and full of life.

Clark Road barn


This is a hefty old barn on Clark Road. As the name suggests, the land was originally the property of the Clark Family, one of the pioneer families in the region. Bob Clark is the patriarch of this family and I heard him mention in a presentation on local barns that this one was built by his grandmother. I’m not certain if she was a Clark or if hers was a different family name. And, if I’m not mistaken, this was the site of some lively barn dances in its day.

Bob Clark’s son produces grass fed organic beef on the family farm nearby. It is well regarded and sold locally. The Clarks also operate a wonderful bed and breakfast at the family farm, Clark’s Chambers Bed and Breakfast. We stayed there twice before moving to Sequim and loved it and the Clark family hospitality.
