Working dairies, alpaca farms, organic vegetable farms and colorful fields featuring every flower imaginable can be found throughout Sequim. We are renowned for our lavender and prize-winning berry crops. Several farms offer tours, U-pick and allow the public to participate in activities throughout the seasons. Lavender There’s a distinctive smell of lavender throughout the Sequim-Dungeness Valley, especially during the summer months. The valley features the most ideal conditions for growing lavender in the U.S. Sequim’s climate is similar to the famous lavender growing region of Provence, France. Sequim Lavender Festival® and Sequim Lavender Farm Faire™ In 1995, Sequim farmers began experimenting with lavender in an attempt to save local farmland and open space from development. By 1996, a few lavender farm owners brought their products to the summer Sequim Open Aire Market, where they had their first lavender festival. Farmers demonstrated uses for the herb and sold lavender bundles and products crafted using lavender. From this humble beginning, the Sequim Lavender Festival grew into one of the premier festivals in the North- Wineries have been producing distinctive vintages on the Olympic Peninsula for more than 25 years. Olympic Cellars Winery in Sequim is open for tasting year round. They host numerous fun events at their own winery and in collaboration with other Peninsula wineries. The Lavender Capital of North America With over 30 lavender farms, Sequim has the highest concentration of lavender farms in North America. west. The festival is always held on the third weekend in July and attracts thousands of lavender lovers. Visitors can tour farms and pick their own lavender, attend the downtown street fair and Lavender in the Park and enjoy music and great food all weekend. A Growing Success The valley now boasts more than 30 farms containing over 160,000 plants combined. Some farms grow lavender purely for oil, while others specialize in floral bundles, sachets, beauty-related products or culinary delights. Open to the Public! During the summer, many farms are open to the public for U-pick. Several feature stores offering everything from lavender sachets to ice cream. Farm location, topography, the type of lavender grown and the owner’s style make visiting each farm a unique experience.

The Olympic Game Farm is also a fun visit for the whole family. Don’t forget to bring your camera! Elk Crossing signal lights on Hwy. 101 are triggered by herd members wearing transmitting radio collars. Sequim Elk Herd Roosevelt elk are native to the Olympic Peninsula. One herd comprised of about 100 animals, consider the Sequim area part of their range. When not in the forest, they graze in farm fields and lawns. Although the Sequim elk herd appears to be tame, they are not. Normally, they avoid close contact with people and move away when approached. However, they may show signs of agitation if people get too close, throw things, or when people or cars block what they consider to be an escape route. Caution should be used at all times when viewing the herd. Since elk roam over a wide area, and split into smaller sub-herds much of the year, it can be difficult to know where they may be viewed. Favorite spots seem to be along Happy Valley Road and surrounding hills, West Sequim Bay Road, Palo Alto Road and north toward Port Williams Road. • www.visitsun.com/elk.html Copy, in part, courtesy of Sequim Elk Habitat Committee Birdwatching at the Spit Sequim is located on one of North America’s biggest flyways making it an ideal spot for bird watching. More than 250 species of birds have been spotted soaring above the Dungeness Valley or fishing in the area’s waterways. The Dungeness River Audubon Center is located within Sequim to help collect information and educate the public about birds. For a map of good birding spots contact Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society located at Railroad Bridge Park, 2151 West Hendrickson Road (360681-4076 • www.dungenessrivercenter.org) or stop by the Visitor Center at 1192 E.

By Boat or Ferry Climate Due to our unique location in the “rain shadow” of the Olympic Mountains, the weather in Sequim is noticeably nicer than the rest of the area. This “rain shadow” and mild temperatures have made Sequim a very popular retirement and recreation area, and tourist destination. Many microclimates mean “Dress for any weather!” On the same day, you can experience semi-arid conditions in Sequim, be drenched in the Hoh Rainforest, or trudge through mountain snow. 2009 January February March April May June July August September October November December ANNUAL Daily High/Low (˚F) 49 / 20 58 / 23 58 / 22 64 / 27 72 / 34 86 / 41 88 / 43 79 / 43 78 / 34 65 / 28 57 / 28 55 / 14 88 / 14 Precip.

Port Townsend can be reached in about 45 minutes by traveling east on U.S. Highway 101, then turning left onto Highway 20. The town has an easy-going, artsy ambiance. The state ferry terminal to Whidbey Island is located here. Port Angeles: Travel 17 miles west to Port Angeles. The city is the gateway to Olympic National Park and Victoria, British Columbia. Port Angeles Harbor, a naturally deep port, attracts ships from throughout the world. Stroll the waterfront trail, collect seashells on Ediz Hook or learn more about Clallam County’s history by visiting the Museum at the Carnegie, 205 S. Lincoln St. Victoria B.C., Canada: Hop aboard the Victoria Express, a passenger-only fast ferry, or the M.V. Coho, an auto/passenger ferry, to travel to Canada. The ferries provide easy day trip access to our friendly “foreign” neighbor. You can also catch a convenient ferry to the San Juan Islands. Check ferry web sites for up-to-date information on schedules, 12 Photo: InsideOut Solutions, Inc. From Sequim, you’re close to… rates and ID requirements for international travel: www.victoriaexpress.com • www.cohoferry.com The Hoh Rain Forest: Roosevelt elk wander among giant, moss-draped trees as you stroll fern-lined trails of Olympic National Park’s Hoh Rain Forest. It is the largest rain forest in the continental U.S. receiving an astounding 12–14 feet of rain annually. Century-old trees reach 300 feet and measure more than 20 feet in circumference. Drive time from Sequim is about 2 hours including a beautiful drive along Lake Crescent. A few more miles south on Hwy. 101, see the rugged Olympic coastline with its numerous beaches to stroll and fish. Forks, the land of Twilight: In addition to the Hoh Rain Forest, Twilight fans can visit story locations including Forks High School. Organized and self-guided tours available. www.ForksWA.com/twilight.html Photo: InsideOut Solutions, Inc. Please contact the Visitor Information Center at 1-800-737-8462 or (360) 683-6197 for more information regarding other farms. Other enjoyable walks: 1. Railroad Bridge Park has a decked railroad trestle that spans the Dungeness River. There’s a lovely picnic area and easy access to the river. The Dungeness River Audubon Center is within the park. 2. For a view of impressive sand cliffs and seabirds, stop at Marlyn Nelson County Park at Port Williams. The park, which features a public boat launch, is located at the east end of Port Williams Rd. These are just a few of the many things to see and do in the Sequim area. Stop at the Visitor Center for more information. We hope you can enjoy them all! There is an admission fee to the national park (Hurricane Ridge, etc.). Don’t lose that ticket! It is valid for 7 days and you can use it to get into the other entrances to the park—for instance, the Hoh Rain Forest. Day Three: Birding, Kayaking, Biking – Bicyclists of all skill levels will find the Sequim Valley is a great place to enjoy a road or mountain bike ride. The wide and long valley has gentle hills featuring views of the Olympic Mountains and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Generally, area roads are wide with good shoulders and are not overcrowded with other bicycles or autos. The temperate weather allows cyclists to enjoy year-round cycling opportunities. Mountain bikers will find Olympic National Forest and state Department of Natural Resources roads and trails provide a great place to test their skills. The Olympic Discovery Trail (see page 5) winds through the Dungeness Valley from Sequim to Port Angeles. Please visit www.mikes-bikes.net for more information about biking in the area. The visit to the Dungeness Spit requires a small fee which is used by Fish & Wildlife to provide a healthy wildlife refuge for migrating birds. Day One: Take a hike! - For a truly unique nature walk, head to the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge and view the Dungeness Spit — the longest natural sand spit in the nation. If the tide permits, stroll 5.5 miles (one way) to the end of the Spit to the New Dungeness Light Station, built in 1857. Take a snack and bottled water with you and enjoy a beautiful view of the Strait of Juan de Fuca from a picnic table or a piece of driftwood. from the Lighthouse Society volunteers will be happy to show you around. If the 11-mile roundtrip trek to the lighthouse is too much, you can still enjoy strolling the spit to take in the breathtaking view, with its waves, driftwood and marine life. After visiting the Spit, continue exploring the area by strolling along the Olympic Discovery Trail, located between White Feather Way and Port Angeles (see Page 5). Or soothe your tired legs with a relaxing soak in the whirlpool at Sequim’s Aquatic Recreation Center (SARC) on 5th Ave. In addition to these suggested treks, Sequim features three year-round volkssport walks. Maps for the walks can be found at Swain’s Outdoor, located at 551 W. Washington St. and at the Sequim Visitor Center. If you love to kayak, grab your paddle and head to Dungeness Spit or Sequim Bay. Calm waters, intriguing inlets and abundant marine life are waiting for you. You’re likely to see harbor seals fishing or just basking in the sun. Stop at the Dungeness lighthouse to stretch your legs, take a picture or enjoy a picnic lunch. Landings are easy, but are limited in number by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. To make arrangements, contact 360-457-8451 or visit www.dungenesskayaking.com. Sequim is located on one of North America’s biggest flyways making it an ideal spot for bird watching. See page 7 for more about birding in Sequim. Day Four: Explore Olympic National Forest – For a true taste of just how rugged Sequim is, visit Olympic National Forest. Sequim is located between two main trailheads: the Gray Wolf and the Dungeness trails. Before heading out, stop at the Sequim Visitor Center to purchase the required day-hike parking pass. Drive along Palo Alto or Louella roads for about 8.1 miles to reach the Dungeness Trail. For the Gray Wolf trailhead, travel about 7.7 miles along Taylor Cutoff and Lost Mountain roads. Both trails provide enjoyable easy hikes. Olympic National Forest officials allow mountain bikes on several trails. To learn more about biking trails see the detailed map at the Sequim Visitor Center. Day Five: Olympic National Park’s Hurricane Ridge - During your entire visit to Sequim, the Olympic Mountains have provided a beautiful backdrop. Now, it is time to enjoy a view from the top. Start your day by driving west along U.S. Highway 101 to nearby Port Angeles. Hurricane Ridge is located about 17 miles from Port Angeles and is considered the crown jewel of Olympic National Park. Sunrises and sunsets are particularly beautiful at the Ridge. Even if it is sunny and clear in Sequim, be sure to call the Olympic National Park Visitor Center to check weather conditions above the clouds. Driving time, starting at the Sequim Visitor Center, is about 1 hour and 45 minutes to reach the 5,200-foot elevation Hurricane Ridge. www.nps.gov/olym • 360-565-3130 360-565-3131 (weather/road info) www.hurricaneridge.net for ski/snowboarding info 13 Photo: Courtesy of OPVB Sequim & Savor Local Flavors – There’s no better way to get to know Sequim than spending the day shopping around town.

Day Two: Tour Downtown Photo: Bob Cooper Origianl art: Cory & Catska Ench Fun for the Family – Kids young and old love a day touring the local farms.
