Sequim Retirement Home celebrates

To be specific, well-known Sequim retirement center 'The 5th Avenue' turned 25 on Thursday this week and celebrated its birthday with Sequim residents. The retirement center had invited visitors to 'high tea' and tours at the retirement home. We joined the afternoon celebration which included a few birthday speeches, horse-drawn carriage rides a taste of the delicious food the retirement serves its residents and tours through the building in a beautiful garden setting. See my photos.

On the tour we were able to view some of the apartments which include , 1-Bedroom and 2-Bedroom units which are available for rent on a month to month basis. Most of the apartments have large patios or balconies. Amenities and services like full meal service, house keeping, utilities, transportation and activities are part of the monthly rent. Sequim retirement home rentals start at $1950/mo. for a person. A 2-Bedroom condo rents for $3225/mo. for a couple meaning one definitely has to have some decent savings or have a good pension to be able to retire at '5th Avenue' Sequim retirement home.

With 87 being the average age of residents, Sequim residents obviously take their time to check themselves in. We all want to be and stay active, healthy and independent as long as possible. However, it's a good thing to know that Sequim town has a nice retirement home as '5th Avenue'. To check things out on your own, you can always come to Sequim. An affordable charming Sequim vacation apartment makes your visit easy.

Graysmarsh Berry Farm opened 2011 U-pick Berry Season

Graysmarsh Berry Farm, the biggest u-pick berry farm in Sequim, opened its gates on Friday for the 2011 u-pick berry season in Sequim!



When you love to pick your own berries like we do, we will love to hear the Sequim news that Graysmarsh Berry Farm opened on Fiday for its 2011 u-pick berry season. Strwaberries are the first ones in line. However, with the sun not being out enough, there are not yet as many sweet strawberries available as usual at this time of the year, the owners of the berry farm inform their visitors on their website.

My suggestion is to still wait a few days for the sun sweetening the fruits. I will buy for now the strawberries from California, which has actually also been much colder this spring, but still produces more sweet strawberries than Sequim weather allowed this June. Offially summer starts on June 21. Show us the sun in Sequim! The few days, when I took the photos of Sequim Vacation Rental are not enough.

Sequim Vacation Rental photos

Dear Sequim visitors,

It was fun to publish a few of our 'Bell Hill View' Sequim Vacation Rental guestbook comments in our last post. Here are a few of the latest glimpses of our Sequim house near Carrie Blake, Carrie Blake Park photos and Sequim town.

Actually, today we have another update for our Sequim vacation rental guests. The private outdoor sitting area next to the vacation apartment received a remodeling job by Keoki. He added a nice little concrete platform for underneath the outdoor furniture which he surrounded by little pebbles. Looks really very inviting for sitting outside on a warm summer day.

We didn't have too many warm summer days yet but when we took the photos, Sequim town was blessed with blue skies and warm sunny weather.

Enjoy Sequim in Spring with our latest Sequim photos

Our Irises along the side of the house are in full bloom.

Keoki enjoys a moment of relaxation from his yard work.
