Today, we noticed that lots of visitors checked in last night at the rooms and the cottages of the Sequim West Inn where we are staying right now for our transition before we can move into our new Sequim town house. Good news it's supposed to happen soon, maybe even in 2 weeks, bad news that our current vacation rental cottage is at a very bad location, next to laundromat!
Even when it closes at 9:30pm, some awfully noisy generator comes on during sleeping hours. No sleeping without ear plugs possible. So, if you consider one of the fully equipped cottages at the Sequim West Inn for your next Sequim vacation, ask for a rental cottage on the left side, away from laundromat!
Anyway, with May looking around the corner - weather is nice and sunny today - Sequim gets busy with weekend visitors enjoying the great outdoors and all the fun activities Sequim and area have to offer. Here are some great Sequim vacation links for your next visit to Sequim, maybe for the coming up Sequim Irrigation Festival.
Olympic National Park:
The beauty of the Olympic National Park is overwhelming and attracts many hikers and visitors each year. From mountains to ocean, rainforest to waterfall. Here are a few photos from our visits to the sights we visited in the Olympic National Park.
This photo is taken on our Sequim vacation in fall of 2006. We got a big surprise on our visit to Hurricane Ridge when experiencing the first snow with our visit to the Olympic National Park Hurricane Ridge
One of our first trips with our little RV motorhome (more van than home), we visited Lake Crescent and area for some easy hiking on a 2-day stay. Summer season was already over and the sandy beach on Lake Crescent was empty and only hikers like us were still roaming the woods and trails Lake Crescent.
On another visit to the Olympic National Park, we combined our trip to the Hoh Rainforest with the Sol Duc Springs

Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge
The Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge is located near Sequim in Clallam County, Washington, on the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The 631 acres of the refuge include Dungeness Spit, Graveyard Spit, and portions of Dungeness Bay and Harbor.
Dungeness Golf and Country Club
A scenic course with the Olympic Mountains in the background. Par 72. Features a unique crab bunker. Open to the public.
John Wayne Marina
Enjoy boating at this lovely marina built on land donated by the film star who often vacationed in Sequim.
Fishing and Crabbing
Fishing, both fresh and salt water, is a primary attraction on the upper Olympic Peninsula. Winter and summer run steelhead in the numerous rivers can produce a contest any angler dreams of. Salt water fishing is excellent for salmon, and blackmouth fishing is excellent January through March. The area is also famous for its Dungeness Crab.

New Dungeness Lighthouse
The New Dungeness was lit on December 14, 1857, the first to be lit in the Strait of Juan de Fuca-Puget Sound areas. It is still staffed by volunteers and is open to visitors hardy enough to walk out the 6 1/2 mile spit (or clever enough to arrive by boat).
Olympic Game Farm
The Game Farm is the home to many endangered and non-endangered animals, many of whom are veterans of the silver screen. Driving tours are offered year-round and walking tours are given during the summer season.
Historic Dungeness
Visit the sites of old town Dungeness on this interactive history map of the area. Click on places or names and learn their history.
Looks like we got a little carried away with our recommendations for places to see in the Sequim area during your Sequim vacation. There is no way to see it all with one visit. We heard from other Sequimers that they were coming back to Sequim for another vacation each year...till they finally moved to Sequim for retirement. It took us only one vacation to make this decision. Have a great vacation in Sequim!
