Sequim Summer Weather News

We are back! Here is what happened in the meantime. Keoki got his surgery at the Port Angeles Hospital to get his torn meniscus repaired. Things went fine. Surgery was on Thursday last week. Monday he was back at SARC teaching his stretch class. Still has to take it easy at the moment, which is not easy for guys like him. But with the big goal of playing tennis at Sequim High School and go hiking in the Olympic Mountains again, he is more considerate than usual.

Everyboduy who visited Sequim this month for a vacation, was wondering what was going on with the summer weather in Sequim. Normally, July and August are the driest and the hottest months in Sequim and even in Seattle. Well, weather patterns and climates change everywhere. Keoki and I can only judge from the one August we had experienced in Sequim last year. No reason to complain then. Maybe sometimes some rain would have been welcomed by plants and residents. This August was having some rain plus temperatures were generally colder than regular summer weather in Sequim during the past years.

To tell you the truth. We both don't complain and are happy with what we get. Carpe diem or Seize the day! Yesterday, we picked 3 containers of fresh organic blueberries. Today I took a bike ride through Carrie Blake Park and beyond to find more good spots for wild blackberry picking. We could not have had any nice weather in Sequim today...sunny and blue skies all over. Not just a blue hole but an entire blue sky! Hope you had a chance to look at all the webcams today in Sequim and Sequim area like the Dungeness Spit, Hurricane Ridge and Crescent Lake. Beautiful!!!! Summer is the perfect time for your Sequim Vacation.

Last but not least, a few Sequim News. Enjoy your Sequim Vacation. The Sequimers

U-Pick Berries in Sequim

Berry picking in Sequim is still big time for U-Pick Berries for blackberries and blueberries at Graysmarsh Farm. I picked my last raspberries there over the weekend. You might still find some later ones. Don't pick the ones which are overripe. They don't taste good!

Sequim Things To Do on Sequim Vacation

Dear Sequim vacation visitors,

Hope you found our recent visit to the Seattle Pike Street Market of interest for your Sequim vacation. Today, we decided to share with you Sequim and Sequim Area Web Cams, which we think is a great tool for getting a first impression about things to do on your Sequim vacation.

Let's start with a glimpse of Sequim town looking East. Must admit there are better views of the town, like Views from Bell Hill over Sequim town, Victoria and the Straits de Juan de Fuca with snow-covered Mt. Baker in the back. So don't let this Sequim town web cam view disappoint you.


We just recently wrote about the Sequim Lavender Festival with a Youtube video and had included a number of Purple Haze Lavender Farm photos on another post as an enticement to visit Sequim when the lavender is blooming. With a short 1 mile drive, Purple Haze Lavender Farm is just around the corner from downtown Sequim. Visit 10 acres of organic lavender fields!

Recently, the Sequim Dungeness Lighthouse celebrated its 150th anniversary. Unfortunately, we nearly forgot to mention it. It was a big Sequim town celebration with lots of food and entertainment and facts to hear about the history of the New Dungeness LighthouseThe Dungeness Lighthouse is at the end of the Dungeness Spit, the longest natural spit in the United States. When planning a beach walk (more a hike) to the lighthouse, be aware that it's 5.5 miles one way. So plan a day trip with food, water and lots of sunscreen & a hat.



We noticed that Port Angeles Harbor is not only visited by huge container ships but it's definitely a tourist meeting spot with lots of Olympic Peninsula events taking place and having food and gift stands all year round. Port Angeles Harbor is the docking point for the ferries to Victoria BC., the Coho and the Victoria Express. Our visit to Victoria and Butchart Gardens last year May (roses in full bloom!) was one of our most impressive weekend trips (3 nights). We plan to go back with our motor-home next time. No visit to Vancouver Island is complete without a visit to The Butchart Gardens.



Hurricane Ridge was our first adventure when we were on our Sequim vacation in September of 2005, before we made the final decision to move to Sequim to retire. Hurricane Ridge is a short drive into the Olympic National Park. We got surprised by the first snow of the season. Coming from Hawaii, we admired the snow flakes falling down. We did not last long though, as we were absolutely not dressed for the elevation of 5,000 ft and the snow! We were not the only visitors one could see that they were tourists. Some people even came in shorts and sandals. So be prepared when you go visit Hurricane Ridge. The weather at that elevation can change fast. Check the weather forecast for Olympics.



One of the nicest day trips when on your Sequim Vacation is a visit to Crescent Lake. Take you time, especially when driving the curvy road along the lake. Don't forget to stop occasionally at the lookout points. It's worthwhile it. You will be rewarded with the most peaceful panorama of the lake and the surrounding areas. You can have a wonderful lunch at Lake Crescent Lodge

and even spend the night at the hotel or the cabins. So far, we each time did a day trip, enjoying our own picnic while sitting on the Crescent Lake beach wooden chairs. Nothing can beat that. If you are not a big hiker, the walk (moderate) to Marymere Waterfalls is warmly recommend




Well, I think that will do with all the vacation recommendations when visiting Sequim. You will find a big guest folder in our Sequim vacation rental with all kinds of information, including Sequim restaurant menus, detailed fishing, hiking and biking maps and tons of Sequim activity flyers. No need to print the information out. First check here what we got for you. Have a wonderful Sequim vacation. Greetings from the Sequimers
p.s.
I guess a picked the last raspberries this week at Graysmarsh U-Pick berries but blueberries and blackberries are still in big demand. The wild blackberries are now everywhere! No need to pay!

Visit Seattle on your Sequim Vacation

Dear Sequim blog visitors,
Ever since we had moved to Sequim, I had heard so much about Olympic Peninsula people going to the Seattle Pike Market for some Seattle shopping or just having an excursion to the big city. Our recent guests at our Sequim vacation rental were also full of excitement about the Pike street market in Seattle. When you are staying for a month in Sequim, you should definitely spend a day or two in Seattle.

Well, I guess it was time to see for myself and pay Pike Market in Seattle a visit. Two of our Sun Meadows neighbors were up for the challenge too. Day and time was set fast. We decided to take the Bainsbridge Ferry which docks right downtown Seattle with a short walk to the market. We would just leave the car on our side of the Puget Sound and take it easy.

Driving Hwy 101, 104 and Hwy 3 to Bainsbridge was nice, easy traffic and beautiful Washington scenery passing by. Maybe we took a little too much time cruising along. So we actually arrived at Bainsbridge ferry parking a bit late, and none of us had a clue what to do. We parked the car and walked to the ferry where we saw the sign "Ferry Parking has to be paid in advance". How and where, we had no idea. There was no sign where we had left the car. I nice shop-owner told us we had to go back and get the number of our parking lot in order to pay for the day. We ran back, got the number, gave the nice lady the money to pay for our parking and ran in super-speed on the ferry. We just made it! Time to exhale!

Now, we could relax, have some morning snack and look forward to our Pike Street Market adventure. After a short ferry transit of 30minutes, we landed in Seattle and followed the crowd to the shops and restaurants along the Seattle Pier. Summer time! Beautiful weather! A big Seattle vacation crowd was walking up and down the street. We joined and found our way up a huge long staircase to Pike Market! Three floors of seemingly never ending shops and stands, selling fruits and veggies, flowers in all colors and sizes of bunches and prices and so much more. Fun to walk around and look at everything. We had a nice lunch with soup and steamed ginger salmon at a Chinese place (sorry but forgot the name).

After the street market, we were ready to visit the Seattle Aquarium. Admission is not cheap. $15 per person. It does not list any senior discount. When you are a senior, just ask for it. It saves you $2. We watched all that wonderful exotic and tropical ocean life for some time, touched the sea stars in the touch pools and watched the feeding of the Harbor Seals. All together, we had a great time at our Seattle Pike Market Outing.

We can really recommend the tour to anybody being here on a Sequim vacation. The ferry traffic on the Bainbridge side during afternoon hours is kind of stop and go. Maybe it's better to hang around Seattle a bit longer, visit the Seattle Space Needle and take a later ferry, but who knows. This is what we did.

Stay tuned for more from our Sequim life. Greetings from the Sequimers

Sequim local News

We totally missed to inform everybody about the Celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Sequim Lighthouse. Hope you all read the Sequim This Week with the announcement. We enjoyed a wonderful picnic with plenty of food and entertainment on Sunday afternoon which was put on by the New Dungeness Light Station Association in Pioneer Park.

The Sequim Senior Center has a huge yard rummage sale on Thursday August 8 and Friday August 9th from 9am - 3pm each day. Proceeds from the sale will support the center's operating budget and provide scholarships for Sequim are high school seniors.
