After we enjoyed hot summer weather for hiking in cooler mountains of the Olympic National Park and soaking in the hot springs at the Sol Duc Hot Spring Resort, Sequim and we got blessed with another hot spell with blue skies and sun all over this weekend. Just perfect for extended Memorial Day weekend and the festivals and events in Sequim and beyond!
Sequim had its Saturday Open Air Market in Cedar Street. The market with farm products, fine arts and high quality hand crafted products attracted a big crowd of residents and visitors alike. Live music and food stands make the visit to the market complete not only for those on a Sequim vacation.
The nice weather across the entire Olympic Peninsula was enjoyed by everybody who visited the Shrimp Festival in Brinnon. We really recommend to any visitor in the area to go visit Whitney Gardens & Nursery in Brinnon. It's right now an overwhelming view of colorful blooming rhodies, all styles and shapes and sizes, even tree size. We bought our 8 rhodies there. For the first year in bloom, they are doing quite well.
Port Angeles, which is just a short 25 min drive from our house, has its Juan De Fuca Festival of the Arts with lots of vendor booths, music and dancing. It will continue tomorrow with more happenings around the Vern Burton Center at 4th St and Peabody.
We took the sunny weather to do more gardening around the house plus continue on our project for adding real grass to the outdoor sitting area for our monthly 1Bd/1Ba 'Bell Hill View' vacation rental. It's getting together! Tomorrow, we will buy the grass and roll it out. We think that our visitors will enjoy nature more than tile or rocks. So, see for yourselves. We would love to have you as our guests when visiting Sequim on an extended vacation.
p.s.
Don't think we only worked on Memorial Day weekend. We enjoyed bike rides each day and sitting outside on our balcony for lunch can't be beat. Great that we have this wonderful adjustable awning to give us just the right shade.
