Most of you know that the Sequim Open Air Market is worthwhile a visit on Saturdays, whether you live in Sequim or just come annually for your Sequim vacation.
Today, we'd like to mention another place we'd warmly recommend to residents and visitors. First things first. We finally moved into our new house three days ago but only into the downstairs because upstairs is not ready yet. But to tell you the truth we are so happy to be here, not only because we are in our new Sequim Home but more so because it's peace all around us. Towards the end of our stay at the Sequim West Inn, the noise level from the Laundromat and car wash right behind our rental 'cottage' was getting unbearable. Remember what we said in one of our previous post...when renting one of the cottages, rent one on the left side, if you can.
As our new Sequim house is very close to Carrie Blake Park, we went for a walk to the Park, when the blue hole was there and the sun peeked though the clouds. We were pleasantly surprised. When we lived in our house in Sun Meadows (off West Sequim Bay Rd towards the Sequim Marina), we'd get on our bikes and bike through the Park and from there we mostly followed the Discovery Trail . We never paid much attention to detail, we just biked, enjoying the big picture. Well, this time we were on foot and were able to admire all the little details and the love which Sequim residents put into this wonderful park.
Most amazing was the Japanese Garden, which got developed in teamwork with our Japanese sister town. There are 11 blooming cherry trees and lots of other beautiful plants and bushes, a lantern island in the middle of the duck pond, a beautiful wooden Japanese gate and much more. What do realtors say? You must see to appreciate! Carrie Blake Park has a big stage for summer performances, a playground for kids and its most recent addition, a playground for dogs where dogs can play with each other without being on a leash. It was fun to watch! Obviously Sequim dog owners and the dogs, big and small, enjoyed their time in the open. Oops , I nearly forgot the fishing pond where children are allowed to fish. That's much more fun than a video game!
