Restaurant at Sequim Bay Marina

Greetings to everybody who is interested in moving to Sequim or a Sequim vacation,

I guess we told you that a great resource on events, happenings, jobs and real estate in Sequim is the Sequim Gazette. Before we moved to Sequim last year, this was one of our daily references and resources staying in touch with Sequim. It still is these days. Today we found a great information we would like to share with our Sequim town blog readers.

If you don't intend to retire in Sequim and are actually in the restaurant business, here is a great business opportunity for starting a new restaurant at Sequim Bay John Wayne Marina. It's a great location with big windows overlooking beautiful Sequim Bay. And most of all, there should be no shortage of visitors to the restaurants with all the boat owners being a round and Sequim Bay Marina being a nice sight seeing spot for people vacationing in Sequim.

Unfortunately, the old restaurant closed. The Port of Port Angeles is accepting applications from restaurant entrepreneurs to fill an opening the John Wayne Marina building overlooking the Boat Haven and Sequim Bay. Earlier plans for the building indicated the possible commitment toward a high-scale restaurant. McChesney said that demographic studies led the port to try and fill the vacancy with the best idea rather then holding out for a five-star restaurant. More information on this new restaurant project in John Wayne Marina.

Those interested in applying for the location can contact the Port of Port Angeles at 417-3456 or visit the Web site portofpa.com and click on marinas at the top for additional information.

We, Sun Meadows and Sequim residents, would love to see a new restaurant at Sequim Bay Marina opening soon. Not necessarily a 5-star restaurants, so visitors have to think twice whether they can afford a visit. Cafe style would be perfect, if you ask us. Enjoy Spring in Sequim. The Sequimers

Sequim Bay John Wayne Marina

Sequim Bay Marina

After our little visit to the Sequim Lighthouse, it's more sightseeing time for new Sequim residents or visitors who come on vacation to Sequim. One of our favorite areas to walk to is the Sequim Bay Marina or even better know as John Wayne Marina. It's a nice 1 mile walk from Sun Meadows subdivision. Great place to hang out, watch the boats and the wild life in the ocean and on land and just enjoy a peaceful place.

Sequim Bay Marina was constructed in 1985 on 22 acres of land donated by the John Wayne family. John Wayne frequented Sequim Bay waters aboard the family yacht – the “Wild Goose”. Today, the marina features permanent and guest moorage, excellent marine services, a restaurant, showers, laundry and banquet facilities, and provides boat launch ramps, fuel facilities, public beach access and picnic areas. John Wayne Marina is easily accessible from Seattle, the San Juan Islands and Canada. Transient morage is usually available for those who wish to boat up to Sequim Bay and enjoy the weekend.

Have fun enjoying Sequim Bay Marina on your boat trip or just on foot, as we do. Have a fun time in Sequim. The Sequimers
