Best of the Peninsula – Clothing

 

Here’s another Sequim selection from the Peninsula Daily News voting on “Best of the Peninsula.” JC Penney was voted best in the “clothing” category.

They must have known I was coming, because they moved a selection of their clothes out front so you could get a view of what’s on offer. Sorry the price tags are so hard to read.

There are places to buy clothing here and there on the Olympic Peninsula, but if you’re a serious clotheshorse the nearest racetrack is the mall in Silverdale, or you’ll want a trip to Seattle.

Visitor Center

If you drive into Sequim from the east one of the first stops newcomers should make is at this building. It’s at the end of town on East Washington. The Chamber of Commerce hosts a visitor center here where Chamber members may display literature. There are free visitor guides, maps, and brochures for accommodations, events, and places of interest. It’s a useful place to find out what’s happening in Sequim and is staffed by volunteers who can get you pointed in the right direction.

Jolt: Coffee time in Sequim

Back on Washington Street, heading west, is another coffee spot, White Cup. The same red car is crashing through the west side of the roof. I’m guessing there were one too many double espressos involved. How many coffee spots in Sequim are we up to now?

Go juice: Coffee time in Sequim

If you miss the first Sequim exit off Highway 101, take the next one for Central Sequim and drive north on Sequim Avenue. Just about the first thing you’ll see as you come off the highway, on the west side of the street, is Red Dog Coffee. This is the third coffee spot and you’ve barely set foot in town.

“Way too much coffee. But if it weren’t for coffee, I’d have no identifiable personality whatsoever.”  — David Letterman
