Pacific N.W. - Washington

Sequim

Recenter Map To This Location

When you’re ready to leave Port Townsend, retrace your steps on Hwy 20 then head west on 101 to Sequim (say Skwim), long known for its dry and sunny climate—a benefit of being in the rain shadow of the Olympics. In recent years, the town has taken advantage of this Provence-style weather and is now the center of a thriving lavender industry. Visit some of the lavender fields and, if you are there in July, enjoy the vibrant Lavender Festival. There are some interesting murals in the town, but the other great attraction here is the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge to the north of the town proper (reach it by going north on Kitchen Dick Road from the 101). This is the world’s longest (5½ miles) natural sand spit, protecting a quiet bay that is a refuge and breeding ground for many species of native birds. You can hike out to the lighthouse at the end, and might even spot some harbor seals as well as birds.
