Sequim

That's pronounced Squim.

One of the good things about this place is the variety and quality of food.  We've found a store that sells everything it can from local sources.  That's means the peaches, apples, berries, vegetable, more are fresh and tasty.  They also sell all fresh locally-caught seafood and pasture raised meats, all at reasonable prices.

One day, we traveled over to a nearby town, Port Angeles, and then on to another county park, Salt Creek, where we saw the above.

Sequim, itself, is open dry fields with patches of forests.   The town is not too large: only 6,600 within the borders, with many more on larger patches outside of town.  You see fields of mixed vegetables, fruit orchards and corn, but more than any other crop, you see lavender.

Another day, we drove to Port Townsend, on a point of the pennisula to the east.  It's known as a wooden boat center and for its Victorian architecture.

What we will remember it for is its storm!   It was blowing very hard that day, so hard that this sailboat became unmoored and blew up to the beach.  Many people watched it as it tossed and was tossed.   Probably a total loss, because how would you retrieve something like this?

That afternoon, back in Sequim, although it had been very windy here, the sun came out while it spattered rain.  We saw this rainbow coming down to the water through our trailer window.
