Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
I believe that this was the original Cline family barn. The Clines were one of Sequim’s early pioneer families. Grandson Bob Clark has told stories of barn dances held here in the days when that was a big social event for farming families. Nowadays it’s guarded by a huge metal chicken. I haven’t decided yet…does that mean something?
In May I posted a photo of the barn that once occupied the land in this photo. When I took this shot recently all that was left was the silo. The land is being repurposed for modular housing.
Here’s a shot that I took of it in 2014.
I took the photograph above in 2012. The barn was slowly collapsing into the earth. I followed it for years here through 2017. I recently took a look at what had become of it since then.
The ground has been scraped clear except for a cement pad in the distance.
I guess there are plans for the land. I’ll check back again to see if something new is planted in its place.
I must have found this barn not long after it was spruced up. It certainly looks ready for a new chapter.
This is a Sequim landmark that is slowly being disassembled. The walls of the long, horizontal structure have been removed and I assume all the buildings will be gone one of these days. This is what it looked like back in 2014.
The barn sits on a large piece of land that has been sold. It is to be developed into over 100 units of housing.
The barn is located on Sequim Avenue, one of Sequim’s major north-south roads.
I have shown this barn before from a couple of different vantage points, back in 2015 and 2016. Here is another one. It looks washed out in the cool winter light but it seems to be holding up well.
Bit by bit some of our farms and ranches are being sold and subdivided. So far this one seems to be hanging on to agriculture.
