Discover the Olympic Peninsula
Sequim
Sequim (pop. 6,600+) is small-town America. It has many unique gift shops, murals, antique stores, galleries and fine restaurants. The sun shines in the Sequim Valley more than anywhere else in Western Washington. The “rain shadow” effect, caused by the Olympic Mountains, shelters the valley from excessive rain. May brings the oldest continuous festival in Washington State, the Sequim Irrigational Festival.
Olympic National Park
Olympic National Park sprawls across several different ecosystems, from the dramatic peaks of the Olympic Mountains to old-growth forests.
Guest favorites include Marymere Falls, Lake Crescent, Hurricane Ridge, The Hoh Rain Forest, Sol Duc Falls, and Cape Flattery. Come explore!
