Sequim 120th Irrigation Festival

Hello again to all our Sequim town blog visitors,
The lovely month of May is here with spring blossoms everywhere. Ever since we moved to Sequim, we've fallen in love with its two big Festivals: the Lavender Festival in the middle of July with Lavender in the Park, Lavender Farm Tours and the most amazing Lavender products in the street market...

and the Sequim Irrigation Festival at the beginning of May starting today.

The Sequim Irrigation Festival is the oldest festival in WA state. It's held downtown Sequim with its tons of vendors and competitions in Carry Blake Park. The 2015 festival will be from May 1st through 10th under the motto "120 Fun a Plenty".

Among the many fun events of interest for you and the entire family are:

Family Fun Day Saturday, May 2, 2015, 9am – 5pm Washington Street between Sequim Avenue & 2nd Avenue Businesses and Non-profits from around Sequim will have booths along Washington Street and offer activities and events for kids and their families.

Kids Parade Saturday, May 2, 2015, 10am Downtown Sequim Parade for kids 12 years and younger. Prizes are awarded.

Sequim weather in October

"What's the weather like in Sequim in September and October?"

Potential guests often ask us when making plans for a monthly Sequim visit at our vacation rental. We always give them the same answer: Next to the summer months July and August, September and October are beautiful fall months here on the Olympic Peninsula. Perfect for hiking the Olympics, visit Sol Duc Hot Springs, kayaking the Straits, joining other visitors on a whale watch boat trip or enjoy an outing to Seattle or Victoria B.C. on Vancouver Island.

OK admittedly, we have to wait a little longer in May for comfy warm spring weather when our friends in Canada in the Okanagan Valley (desert climate) already brag about some warmer temperatures but to tell you the truth, Sequim's moderate summer temperatures and the Indian Summers in September and October make all up for it. It feels like a never-ending summer at this time of the season: blue skies, lots of sun, warm pleasant temperatures after 10am with lots of bikers runners and walkers out on the Olympic Discovery Trail. And yes it's true, Sequim residents still greet each other!

Like the rest of happy Sequim people, we enjoy the extended summer - on Sunday it was a bike ride via the Railroad Bridge to Sequim Airport - as much as we can and as long as we can. Don't forget sometimes the 'change' in weather to the colder season can happen without much ado. Well, and for those, who want to find out what Sequim weather is like in November and December during the holiday season, here is the good news. We had a cancellation at our fully equipped vacation rental for November. The apartment is now available starting November 11, 2014. If you are interested and/or have any questions, please, email us. We are looking forward to hearing from you.

Sequim berry picking season 2013 has started

Yes, our favorite Berry farm Graysmarsh in Sequim has started for this summer season. It's strawberry picking time. Bring your own container and have it weighed before you start picking berries, unless it's really light and the weight does not matter. The sunny weather in Sequim for the last week has definitely helped to ripen the strawberries. Next will be raspberries & blueberries, which we love to pick. U-pick in Sequim at Graysmarsh Berry Farm is open 8am - 4pm Monday - Saturday, 10am - 4pm Sundays.

Remember Lavender Season is coming too. Most of our lavenders at the house are already blooming just the special Grosso lavender is waiting for July to be in full bloom for the Lavender Festival July 19 - 21, 2013.

Last but not least, we have some good news for guests who would like to escape hot summer in Arizona or Texas and spend July at our fully equipped 1Bd/1Ba Sequim  'Bell Hill View' Vacation Rental. July has become available for your  monthly stay. If you are interested, email us with subject line 'Sequim Rental July'.

Early Summer in Sequim in 2013

Dear Sequim blog visitors,
You would probably would like to know how we are approaching summer in Sequim this year. Sequim was pretty lucky with no snow during all the winter months. Moderate winters and moderate summers are features which attract people to visit or to move for good to this lovely retirement town.

This year 2013 brought a very early SUMMER - yes summer, not spring - to the Olympic Peninsula and Sequim. Residents couldn't believe it when early May temperatures broke all the high records for decades. The summerly weather had everybody working in their gardens, getting on their bikes and walking Carrie Blake Park or the beautiful Discovery Trail.

Well, today the spell seems to be broken by some fog and drizzle rains. Flowers, bushes and new veggie seeds can need the wet sprinkles from the sky instead of the sprinkler system.

Here are a few photo impressions from this year's early summer in Sequim:

Carrie Blake Park

A geese couple built their nest on the little island in Carrie Blake Park. 'Papa' goose watches on land that the mother does not get disturbed when sitting on the eggs.

Lilac bushes at the holiday rental

This early Sequim summer, we paid for the first time close attention to the many colored lilac bushes, as seen in this photo. The scent of Lilac is in the air in entire Sequim town. Reminds us of Lavender season and scents in July for the Lavender Festival.

View of Olympic Mountains

Lots of aahs and oohs from Sequim visitors when walking through town or going west on Olympic Discovery Trail with all the different views of the Olympic Mountains. Despite our early summer spell, they still carry loads of snow sparkling in the sun.

More Mountain views in May

Hanging basket at 'Bell Hill View' vacation rental

Sequim residents have a long time tradition of hanging baskets all along Washington Street  and of course on their own houses as well. It was time to hang our basket with those beautiful flowers indicating that 'Bell Hill View' Vacation rental is open for business for the summer season. Please, email to Sequim Rental.

5 Best reasons to spend a Summer vacation in Sequim

Dear Sequim researchers,
When you found our Sequim Town blog in your Google search, you were already familiar with little Sequim Town in general but were in search of more details for spending a summer vacation there. Here are our 5 best reasons for spending a summer vacation in Sequim. Remember this is our very personal opinion as residents of Sequim for over 6 years:

1. Take a summer vacation in the town where you want to retire

OK you have heard so many good things about Sequim, and even know how to pronounce it, this little retirement town on the Olympic Peninsula but have NEVER been there. Take a summer vacation in Sequim and find out whether it's the town where you'd like to retire. That's at least what we did and what we recommend to everybody. Talk to as many people as possible, when you are here. To regular folks like us. Just ask them "And where are you from?" This opens all the doors to interesting stories.

2. Summer vacation looking for a house in Sequim

That's for those folks who know for sure that they want to move to Sequim and retire there. Do all your homework when you are still at home checking 'Sequim Houses for Sale' on the Internet. Not only real estate businesses but also 'Homes for sale by owner'. Get familiar with different areas, pros and cons of its subdivisions. Then start making a list of homes for sale matching your budget and expectations. Upon our arrival in Sequim, we checked the location and neighborhood of these house and were quite surprised that a lot did NOT meet our criteria. When we had downsized our list of homes, we contacted the realtor of our choice for real viewings. Sequim home prices were up when we bought in 2005 but now it's still a buyer's market.

3. Best things to do in Sequim in summer

Of course, a summer vacation here - BTW most years, Indian Summers last to September + October - is the perfect time of the year to explore Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula, the Olympic National Park and even Victoria in BC on Vancouver Island. Best to take a longer monthly stay, so you won't feel rushed and can have some relaxing time picking berries. Delicious fresh blueberries, raspberries and blackberries are in season. So is the wonderful lavender. If you want to stay with us for July during Lavender Festival season - 2013 Lavender Festival is July 19 - 21, make your reservation early.

4. How to socialize and make friends in Sequim?

We get quite a number of emails from people who have lots of questions about Sequim BEFORE they come and WHEN they are staying at our 'Bell Hill View Sequim Vacation Rental'. We perfectly understand. So we take the time to answer as many and as detailed as we can. A casual pizza dinner at our house on their arrival night mostly gets the conversation going. As a follow-up, our guests visit the Sequim Senior Center and Sequim Aquatic Recreational Center, our two biggest places to find kindred spirit friends. The following is a view of Bell Hill in the fog which comes from Sequim Bay.

5. Escape the summer heat of Texas, Arizona, Pennsylvania, California

Yes, you finally can breathe again outdoors on your summer vacation in Sequim. No racing for the next air conditioned building or having to spend summers indoors in your AC home because of the extreme heat in double digits. That's when we Sequim residents say "Good that we live in Sequim!" Sequim enjoys mild winter AND mild summers which makes any outdoor activity like walking, hiking, biking or kayaking a real fun summer activity. Walk along shady Railroad Bridge along Olympic Discovery Trail.

Well, what else can we say? See for yourselves and spend a vacation in Sequim this summer.

BTW all these wonderful photos were taken by our Sequim vacation rental guests Sue and Cathy from Missouri who spent July 2012 with us. Thank you so much. Read their testimonial.

Sequim: Vacation glimpses of Sequim summer 2012

Greetings to all our Sequim vacation friends. Yes, Sequim is currently in hibernation but that's a perfect time to snuggle up at your fireplace and remember with us all the wonderful adventures you had last summer vacation. Gabriele shares her outing to the Dungeness Lighthouse with all of you. Maybe it this will inspire some to planning new Sequim adventures for 2013.

 

Let's just start with a few of Gabriele's words she wrote with her text and photo submission to us:

"The Olympic Peninsula is so beautiful, and so varied in it's beauty! Of all the places we've visited in the Northwest, Jon and I keep coming back to this area. And Sequim is such a lovely base from which to explore.

We spent a lovely month in Sequim, with Heidi and Keoki, from mid-August to mid-September.

 

 

While staying in Sequim this past summer, we loved exploring the Olympic Peninsula. There is so much to see and enjoy, from Cape Flattery on the west to Port Townsend on the east. By staying at Heidi and Keoki’s vacation rental, we were centrally located to enjoy it all.

 

 

One of our favorite day trips was right in the Sequim area, the New Dungeness Light Station. The light house sits near the end of the Dungeness Spit, one of the world’s longest natural sand spits and part of the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge. To reach the refuge, you first go through the Dungeness Recreation Area, a very lovely little county park. Make sure you walk along the bluffs overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca. It’s very beautiful, especially at sunset. We spent several evenings enjoying the view!

 

 To reach the spit, you park at the Wildlife Refuge (there’s a small fee) and walk down to the water. It’s a half mile through trees and along bluffs with some benches along the way to enjoy the view of the spit. You’ll appreciate the benches on the way back up! The beach is a mix of rock and sand with piles of driftwood; a typical Washington beach, I think.

 

 The walk to the New Dungeness Light Station is 10 miles round trip (11 total, back to the parking lot). They suggest planning for a leisurely 4-6 hours. We took 7 hours, requiring several rest stops and an enjoyable hour at the light station. The best part was, of course, the lighthouse! It’s staffed year-round by volunteers, staying at the station in week-long shifts. The two couples there at the time were wonderful hosts, full of information about what we were seeing. You can climb up to the top of the lighthouse and enjoy an amazing view. They even have little gifts for you, for making the trek to see them!

 

 

I’m glad we hiked to the lighthouse, and I’m sure we’ll do it again. Even if you don’t want to walk to the lighthouse, it’s worth visiting the Dungeness Recreation Area and the Wildlife Refuge. Especially at sunset!"

 

Thanks again Gabriele for your wonderful photos and words about your hike to the Dungeness Lighthouse. We are looking forward to seeing you and Jon this summer at 'Bell Hill View vacation rental.' Happy holidays for now.

A short update for all rental inquiries: 'Bell Hill View Sequim vacation rental' has a new email. Sequim summer vacation may be booked starting 1/1/2013.

 

Sequim weather: snow, winter forecast, blue hole

Yes, the Olympic Mountains show the first snow of the season which always reminds us that winter is looking round the corner in Sequim. Sequim weather this weekend was actually a bit on the cold side compared to our regular temperatures. Woke up to 38 F and made it during the day to 52 F but...we had a day of clear blue skies and bright sunshine (see our photo taken from our balcony on Sunday morning). So Carrie Blake Park and its dog park had lots of visitors including us.

Sunday's breakfast was enlightened by our little hummingbird friends coming for a visit, several at a time without fighting, which is unusual. The Canadian geese put on a show of their own. Gathering in the hundreds and flying in formation(s) over our house! It was awesome! Unfortunately I didn't get the camera ready in time to get a good picture of them. Maybe next time. There were still plenty staying behind at the pond when we visited the park. Photo shows Keoki on our walk through Carrie Blake Park with our best friends' dog 'Little Lupe'.

OK what's the latest news in Sequim and in the Peninsula Daily News? Hurricane Ridge is back to being open only on weekends weather permitting. The 2-yr experiment over the past two winters to keep Hurricane Ridge open also during the week, which was a joint effort of our local communities of Port Angeles, Sequim, Olympic National Park and National Park service in WA D.C. was not successful. It takes a lot of money to keep Hurricane ridge road open during the week in winter. The low numbers of visitors did not compensate for it.

Did you know that at 5,242 ft above sea level, Hurricane Ridge Visitors Center gets an average annual snowfall of about 40 0inches. As we said many times here on SequimTown Blog: "Be prepared when tackling the trip. Call the Hurricane Ridge hotline  565-3131 for its daily weather and road updates BEFORE getting on the road." Good news Hurricane Ridge will be open for the week between Christmas and New Year's. There you go. Even Sequim residents and their visitors can enjoy a White Christmas.

Last but not least, we are still picking raspberries from our bushes, and Dalias are still in full bloom. BTW, weather forecast for the Pacific Northwest including little Sequim town: forecast for a mild winter 2012. There is always a blue hole to let some sun rays through to Sequim or Port Angeles (see our blue hole photo).

And don't forget: Texas, Arizona, Pennsylvania visitors or else who would like to spend a month or two at moderate Sequim weather hiking, biking, picking berries and have a wonderful vacation can always make their rental reservation for "Bell Hill View' Sequim Vacation Rental by sending us an email "Sequim rental reservation 2013". 

"The early bird catches the worm."

Sequim: Vacation Rental Sequim WA Reviews 2012

Dear Sequim Vacation blog visitors, 
Those last three weeks this summer 2012 have been really special in Sequim not only because of a wonderful Indian summer with lots of blue skies, ripe sweet berries, bike rides on the Discovery Trail and much more, but also because of all the nice new friends we made as hosts of our 'Bell Hill View Vacation Rental', your home away from home.

September proved again to be lovely in Sequim. Aah the views! October mostly follows suit with sunny days but colder nights preparing us for winter. Hope Julie from NM who plans to stay at our Sequim rental for a vacation this October will be as happy as our 2012 guests have been:

Love Deb & Bob, Iowa

July/August 2012

Dear Heidi & Keoki,

We really appreciate all the things you did to make us feel at home here in Sequim - from the special blanket for the couch, to a new HDTV + DVR, for fresh raspberries, orchids & newspapers, gas barbie and two special dinners.

This was a wonderful place to use as a base to explore Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula and the surrounding areas. Thanks for your hospitality!

Cathy & Sue, O'Fallon, MO

September 2012

Hi Heidi & Keoki,

Washington always reminds me of the Munich area. Maybe that's why I enjoy Washington so much.

We had the nicest stay in your lovely apartment. Thank you so much for renting to us at such short notice. You and Keoki are wonderful hosts. We enjoyed getting to know both of you. I especially enjoyed our blueberry picking time!

When you start booking for next summer, please keep us in mind. We'd love to come back.

Take care, Gabriele and Jon, Rockport TX

New event in Sequim: Sequim Balloon Festival in September

Sequim News for July 2012

Dear Sequim visitors,
Let's have a little glimpse about what you can await on your July Sequim visit. Sequim News published by the City of Sequim each month will help us to put today's blog post together.


As usual, let's start with the Sequim weather this July. July did not start as 'summerly', as we all expected after 'June Gloom'. Yes admittedly that was a bit of a disappointment especially when one is waiting for going picking berries + cherries. Our cherry orchard lady told us just yesterday that we will still have to wait another 1 1/2 or 2 weeks, all depending on the sunshine Sequim will be getting. Most important there are cherries on the trees. We just need to patient and wait a bit longer.

What else is new in Sequim this summer?

Music in the Park

Annual Music in the Park during summer started. Concerts take place each Tuesday 6pm at the James Center in Carrie Blake Park. Nice to know what music will be played. So make your selection:
July 3 Dukes of Dabob play Dixieland<
July 10 Mark Whitman Band plays Rhythm & Blues
July 17 Bound to Happen plays variety

July 24 Karaoke Idol - Contest (see sequimwa.gov website for registration)
July 31 Cascada plays Latin Guitar & World Fusion 2012

2012 Sequim Lavender Festival

Sequim Lavender Festival coming up Some of my lavender bushes at the house are already in full bloom. Others are still waiting. It all depends on the kind of lavender. However, we know that by July 20th, the start of the Lavender Festival, all the lavenders on Sequim Lavender Farms, along Sequim's sidewalks (don't miss Hendrickson St for a photo) and people's personal lavender bushes will be blooming beautifully. The wonderful scent of lavender will be lingering everywhere in little Sequim town. It's a lavender extravaganza which thousands of visitors will enjoy when visiting Sequim on the weekend of July 20 - July 22 for the Lavender Festival. Also visit SequimLavenderFarms for more information about events.

Sequim computer service needed at Sequim vacation rental?

Dear Sequim Vacation blog visitors,

When moving to Sequim from Hawaii in 2006, we faced lots of adjustments as everybody else who moves to an area they are totally new to. Our 12-day Sequim vacation in October 2005 was more or less focusing on finding the perfect Sequim home to buy which we actually did.

Upon our final moving to Sequim in January 2006, we had our hands full moving into our house in Sun Meadows, finding new kindred spirit friends and make ourselves familiar with Sequim town services with priority being shopping. Well, to find the right guy for overseeing the hard and soft ware of our PC and laptop seemed to be quite challenging. I even called my Hawaii computer expert friends occasionally.

We also tried several times our luck with Sequim guys who advertised their Sequim computer service in Sequim publications which worked mostly just OK till we heard from our good neighbors about a computer guy Bob Bennett from Port Angles. Bob had worked for years in the computer business before he finally started his own computer business in the Port Angeles/Sequim area.

Bob solved any of computer issues to our total satisfaction. Best part when working with Bob is that he set up a virtual assistant meaning he can check our computer from his home without having to come for an appointment to Sequim.

Why do we tell you about Bob's computer service in Sequim? Our Sequim vacation rental offers FREE wireless Internet to our visitors. 95% of our guests take advantage of this offer by bringing their laptop to Sequim in order to be connected with friends + family or their Sequim realtor on their Sequim vacation. Good to know that an experienced computer expert is only a phone call away when Microsoft Windows plays tricks on you.
