Spending a Day at Sequim Washington in 2020

Sequim is known for their beautiful lavender fields which generally take place in the spring / summer months of June - July.
Sequim is located along the western bank in the state of Washington.
This was my first time coming to Sequim in the winter months so I wasn't necessarily sure what to expect.
If you're the type of person to enjoy visiting small quiet towns, then Sequim is the right place for you!
What Sequim is primarily known for is their lavender fields as well as their lavender festival which occurs every July. Unfortunately due to the Covid - 19 Pandemic, the lavender festival was cancelled.

However, it doesn't mean that Sequim isn't worth visiting. The city still provides that feelings of a small home-town community. You'll be greeted by locals as well as visitors looking to get away from the big city and enjoy the sights and sounds of a small town.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some of the places we visited during our day trip here include:
Salty Girls Seafood: saltygirlsseafood.com/
Definitely check this place out if you're looking for a good place for seafood and beer. Make sure to try their fresh and succulent oysters!
Hurricane Coffee: hurricanecoffeecompany.square...
A nice quiet place to get your coffee fix. They have a unique set of flavors that fit the town setting. Try out their Dark Raspberry Mocha!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Make sure to check out some of the local shops and boutiques which in order to support the local community!
I didn't get a chance to check out the other stores, but definitely take the time to visit Sequim.
(Note: the timing of this video occurred before dropping back down to phase I and the increased restrictions on traveling. Always follow safety protocols and wear your mask!)

I lived in sequim for a few years when i was young. My life changed there in alot of ways. In all my journys in life especially in the militarily i have always wanted to return. Ive got a year and a half before i finally get to return to the only place i ever considered home

If you are comming over from Seattle, the Edmonds to Kingston ferry is the fastest its only 40 min to Sequim once you reach Kingston. And its only about twelve miles north on I-5 from the downtown Seattle Ferries.

[@franbenavi]

We are visiting our sister in Sequim this November for the first time. Thank you for the orientation and for pointing out the beauty and quaintness of the town! Nice video and much appreciated!

[@letsexplorelife927]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@pdizbon]

I am a Sequimite, I have lived here for 10 years as of Sept 2nd of this year!! FYI, those are pronounced "blin" for Blyn and "dungeon-ess" for Dungeness

[@AuroraLakes]

Hi neighbor. Me too, moved here from Puyallup 30 years ago. Don't you love the "dungeneese" pronunciation instead of dungeness. Lol

[@pdizbon]

@@AuroraLakes LOL and See-quim :-)

[@Heidishereandthere]

​@@AuroraLakes Gets its name from the Dungeness headland in England by George Vancouver.

[@Heidishereandthere]

Why on earth direct people to go all the way around to hwy 101?? 😮 (head spinning🥴) Just take the Edmonds/Kingston Ferry.

[@mydogismylife]

You did a fantastic job with this video. Informative & enjoyable. Sequim seems like a very tranquil place. Thanks for making this video. Happy Holidays & travels!! 🎅🎄👍

[@letsexplorelife927]

Thanks a lot! Tried to make it as informative as possible but of course there's always stuff there to do. Here's hoping for a good 2022. Happy holidays to you

[@rickburns4572]

Good job. Great place.

[@Dayshine.12]

I’m gonna live here one day. Mark my words. - Sept. 2022

[@JohnLee-db9zt]

So you living there?

[@abrarmousa2051]

I really loved this video, millions thanks yo you.

[@alannamcdaniel4782]

I started watching a few videos about the area six months ago. Seems like a great place to visit, and possibly retire…as an artist. Really enjoyed your brief video, hope you will post another. Thank you.

[@letsexplorelife927]

Thanks! I will probably go back again sometime around June / July for the lavender festival. Check them out

[@UIV7096]

I’d love to spend a day here.. Lavender my favorite!!

[@sequimrealestatemarketpros]

Well done, very nice video. Sequim is pretty special, bring a light jacket year round... Check out the Olympic Discovery Trail, Lavender Farms, local farm stands, some great restaurants and shops. 3 golf courses.

[@letsexplorelife927]

Will definitely plan on doing that in the warmer months! Thanks for watching

[@MarkWayUp]

great video!

[@z0mbi3gvtzz]

That's where I live! You also visited on my birthday lol

[@letsexplorelife927]

I should be asking you for recommendations on what to do for the winter time!

[@arunachulashiva]

Thanks so much. Very helpful.

[@letsexplorelife927]

Hopefully we'll get a good year for Lavendar viewing at Sequim!

[@RN583764]

Did you feel out of place since it isn’t diverse? We’re looking at property to build a retirement home and looking at this small town. It’s missing the food scene for us though.

[@letsexplorelife927]

I mean coming from an Asian background, i didn't really feel discriminations at all. For me the lack of food diversity would probably do it for me, but for retirement living, i'd say this place would be pretty nice. You're also close to the Canadian border which would be fantastic!

[@pdizbon]

It is diverse!!

[@aiko6660]

I live there and its amazing!

[@manuelvargas6701]

Can you explain? I’m curious and wanting to visit, possibly move. Weather? Things to do? Places to see? Friendly community? Prices of goods like food and gas? Rent? Purchase home instead?

[@Fulz-]

I live in Sequim btw it is nice and my favorite spot is Sergio's

[@letsexplorelife927]

I'll have to try it next time I'm there

[@gustavovazquez5535]

👍

[@paulthunyawilaiporn671]

Can we go in summer?

[@letsexplorelife927]

I'd highly recommend going during the summer time. Sequim has a lot of various lavender farms to check out. They unfortunately cancelled the lavender festival for this year due to covid

[@paulthunyawilaiporn671]

Thank you so much for your info

[@TheLazyMoney]

My guy has no idea where he is lol

[@jpallen719]

Dung as in grunge...ah....ness....Dungeness

[@letsexplorelife927]

CAN never get ENOUGH!!! Thanks for watching!

[@TheLazyMoney]

Done Jen x

[@LegoBombed]

oy my guy, this was a little cringy. locals are a bit particular here and I guess I'm the example... but why make a video about a place but be uninformed about it or local pronunciations? you seem *super* likeable but I live here so I gotta say it. 1. 1:24 you are at Salty Girls on 2nd & W. Washington; the main street through town. 2. 1:37 "duhn·juh·nuhs" holy moly at least learn this one. we aren't just about lavender. 3. 3:29 Blynn. like "Lynn". there's a lot more to Sequim than what you covered, but I get that it was just meant to be a short video, and I'm not trying to be rude, honest! but y'know, I live here and like to see it represented properly also. :) glad you like it here. 🦀🌿🦌🥾🏕🎣☀️🏔🛶☕🌅

[@cullenbohannon1408]

Sequim land of the druggies! I grew up here it's infested now!!!

[@JohnLee-db9zt]

@@LegoBombed Don’t be a douche. You’re giving locals a bad name.

[@user-ly3hh8nb6r]

Sequim used to be about the irrigation festival until all of the outsiders came in and made it about the lavender festival. You should do some research on history. This commentary was disappointing.

[@standarddeviation7314]

The WA ferries only charge in one direction.. the 'return' trip is covered by your fare. Take Seattle to Bainbridge ferry and you end up on Kitsap peninsula and get to cross the floating bridge to Olympic peninsula.

[@user-ly3hh8nb6r]

Not true

[@pdizbon]

@@user-ly3hh8nb6r Passengers pay for 1 direction, the return trip is included when you first pay. I live in Sequim.
