Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
It’s a little store surrounded by farms. Has a little of everything and is a GREAT place to stop for a lil treat or drink.
There is a black communication board with want ads, jobs, things to give away or sell. Carried over from the times before texting and the internet!
Every Saturday March thru Oct we have a farmers market at the town hall. They block off the street for pedestrians. Everything is artisan made or grown. We have a lot of farms in the area so the produce is GREAT and prices are reasonable.
There is music & dancing and cuteness!
There are lots of different pottery and leather makers and various artists.
And LOTS of YUMMY food!
Ahat do you do when you were going to do macro and flower photgraphy but its blowing 35 mph? Macro cactus photos–they don’t whip around in the wind!
I found this old sign months ago at the Sequim Museum and Arts Center.
I showed you the old Flippers restaurant here in 2017. It’s been closed for years now.
It’s hard to read the prices on the menu above but these days you’re not likely to find a four piece chicken dinner with salad, egg roll, and JoJo potatoes for $1.75. Nor a piece of pie a la mode for $.45.
There is a very pretty overlook above the John Wayne Marina with spots for picnics and a sidewalk that opens up to views of the marina and Sequim Bay.
Benches allow wanderers to stop and take in the scenery. In the foreground here is Sequim Bay. In the longer distance is the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
The trees here are glorious in autumn They’re just beginning to turn color now.
There was a perfect day late last month when getting out on the water seemed just the thing to do. We went to the John Wayne Marina to have a look.
Sailboats were outside the breakwater in Sequim Bay.
Inside the breakwater other boats were coming and going, many of them returning from a day of fishing.
And, if you’re wondering, yes, the marina is named after that John Wayne. He spent summers boating here and eventually donated the property named after him that became our marina. His family still owns property around the marina.
I’ve driven past this sweet little flower stand before but not at the height of summer when it’s been filled with beautiful bouquets. It’s a delight.
Everything was fresh and beautiful, including vases full of vibrant dahlias. I was taken with this mixed bouquet.
The stand is next to a sweet house with spectacular, well-tended gardens. And a sweet, friendly dog named Tucker.
