Sequim is located on the beautiuful north Olympic Peninsula in the state of Washington. Bordered by the waters of the Straight of Juan de Fuca to the north and the magestic Olympic Mountains to the south, Sequim sits in a rainshadow that allows approximately 16" of annual rainfall, making it one of the driest places in Western Washington and a paradise for outdoor activity. "The Lavender Capital o
f North America" Sequim is well known for its commercial cultivation of the fragrant herb and for its premier celebration, Sequim Lavender Weekend, the third weekend of July. Also home to the longest running festival in the state of Washington, the Sequim Irrigation Festival celebrates the innovation and vision of the irrigation ditches that channeled the waters from the Dungeness River to make the arid Sequim-Dungeness Valley fertile agricultural lands. While you're here be sure to visit the Olympic Game Farm with the famous waving kodiak bears, the beautiful John Wayne Marina on Sequim Bay, savor local berries and organic produce from a local farm, or take a hike along the Dungeness Spit. With Sequim's central location on the Olympic Peninsula, it is the perfect place to stay while you explore all that the area has to offer.
