Sunny Sequim Weather in Fall !!!

Its as good as it gets in the Pacific Northwest. Is it time to hibernate in Sequim? Not Yet! Certainly Fall weather has arrived effecting our Sequim life each day with a color palette from golden yellow to dark reds, dahlias are still blooming in our flower beds but night temperatures are going under 50 degrees. It feels great to get the benefit of a heat pump and the ambiance of a wood stove.

For all those who still doubt the truth of the Sequim Blue Hole and our Sequim Rain Shadow weather, just a short account of these last 2 days. Ever since we moved to Sequim, 18mos ago, we have made it a habit to watch the weather forecast with Andy Wappler on KIRO 7 late news. Soon we realized though that the Seattle weather forecast and the actual Sequim weather are worlds apart. Best way to find out what Sequim weather will be like is to look out the window in the morning and watch what's happening. Yesterday Seattle and most of the rest of the Pacific Northwest were soaked in rain, coastal areas like Forks and Ocean View, Port Angeles and Seattle. Sequim did not get one drop of rain but had sunny weather all day for walks in Carrie Blake park and for bike rides on the Discovery Trail all day long.

Forecast for today was high winds and rain everywhere. OK admitted we woke up to really high winds and some rain, however by 10am the rain had abated though the winds were still quite cold. By noon the first blue hole showed up and by 2pm the sun was shinning through the clouds to the east and west. We had a wonderful walk through Carrie Blake park, visited the dog park and the duck pond with a amazing 72 degrees in the sun.

Sequim Pumpkin Patch is ready for Halloween.

Sequim and Sequim visitors are not ready to hibernate yet. We may not have huge Halloween celebrations or fancy haunted houses but we do have the Pumpkin Patch. This unique Fall happening coincides with the time of harvest in Sequim Valley.

Located on over 6 acres at the intersection of Highway 101 and Kitchen Dick Road, the Pumpkin Patch offers food and fun activities for all ages. The hours of operation are noon to 6p.m. Sunday thru Thursday and noon to 9p.m. Friday and Saturday until Halloween.

There is a maze cut through almost 6 acres of corn which can be navigated during the day or for a really spooky time try it at night using a flashlight. There will be horse and pony rides, wagon rides and u-pick pumpkins. One event you won't want to miss is the pumpkin catapult and you just might win yourself $100 if you can launch a small pumpkin with a giant slingshot into a waiting garbage can.

Come to Sequimon vacation and visit the Pumpkin Patch or the Hoh Rainforest as we did two weeks ago with our kids. Enjoy all the beautiful leaf colors of fall season. The Sequimers
