    Gorgeous new building! Nice trails, too. You should stop and see the exhibits inside.

    Sequim Bay State Park - What a view

    This is a gem of a campground! We had a big Olympic NP trip planned and needed a campground…read moresomewhat close to SeaTac airport to start our journey. This campground was small and quiet, and matched with the beautiful views it was really enjoyable. There are only around 30 sites here, squished between the coast and the main road. Each one has a bunch of space, though, and some privacy behind trees and bushes. There's a tent pad, picnic table, and fire pit at each site, although we were there during a fire ban. There was a nice bathroom that's an easy walk from any site, and a couple picnic pavilions as well. You can head to the Olympic trail from this campground, which stretches for a few hundred miles. You can also walk down to a boat launch and take in the view by the water. We were really pleased with this beautiful quiet campground and it was a great way to start our trip.

    This park has a really small area to access the very rocky beach. I only saw this area and learned…read morelater that it's much larger than that. Based on what I saw and did there with a friend, I wouldn't go back, as my main goal is to be and appreciate the beach. This park has tennis courts, basketball court, and ball fields, along with 3 rec areas for rent for a group. You will have to pay to camp/RV here and showers. There's a paved trail. Dogs are allowed but have to remain on leash.

    This trail starts at Port Townsend and ends along the shores of the Pacific Ocean. It does cross…read moresome roads and does follow the highway a bit, but it's long enough to not see a lot of people on the trail. Keep an eye out for signage so you don't get lost when you do cross the roads. I walked the segment near Sequim. It's well maintained with a paved path which also goes on the Johnson Creek Trestle. The trestle itself is gorgeous. The creek it traverses isn't very large, although the trestle is more to avoid a steep drop and incline from the terrain. There's also a port-a-potty near it which seems like it doesn't get much use as it's one of the cleanest I've seen. Overall, incredible trail with gorgeous views! If you're in the area, be sure to check it out, you won't regret it.

This trail is truly amazing and really puts the entire trail system in Oregon to shame. Some friends and I rode nearly the entire trail last summer and I can not wait to go back and do it again First off, it is long! It goes across most of the Olympic Peninsula, but there are plans to connect it all the way to the ocean. That would be great because getting to it from La Push was quite the adventure. The paths vary from paved bike trails in the forest to flowy single track to urban on road riding. Make sure you know what your section is like before attempting it! We camped along the way except for the city portion around Port Angeles where we used Warm Showers to find a host, so if you're planning to bikepack it, make sure to look up areas you can pitch a tent in

    This was perfect for us to stop on a daytrip to Sequim. My friend's dog was getting a little antsy…read moreand we wanted her to get some of her energy out prior to going to the Olympic Game Farm so that she didn't jump out the window or something else at the farm. The dog park is separated into three gated areas. The smaller dog area is ample size to accommodate at least 50 dogs and their owners. The larger dog area is also decent in size. Both areas have water stations and covered benches just in case you want to sit down and watch the dogs play. The third area is for agility testing or for dogs to run the obstacle course. I will say that the majority of the dogs that were in the large pen were very friendly and kind of minded their own business. My friend's dog did get scratched in the nose as she entered though, so her nose was bleeding a bit but nothing major. The pens also come equipped with a few dog ball tossers and other toys to keep the doggies moving as well as doggie doo bags. I did sense a bit of community here as well as there were a few posters of dogs that have passed on as well as dogs that were lost were posted and several people talked about the dogs that passed on as if they were their own. Overall, a nice place to just let your dogs run.

    The park is great but the "board" and their "president" are terrible along with most of the elderly…read moreattendees. Brought my kids along as I usually do because they like to play with their dog and they got yelled at to stop running by the "president" I told them they are fine and ignored her. Then the lady screamed at my child calling him retarded for running. Needless to say there were some harsh words from me and another mother. They quickly posted new dog park rules after this making it more of an elderly park. Another time a mans dog had taken my dogs ball which I don't mind I let the dog play with it for a while but then my dog (a Doberman) was getting frustrated because he wanted his ball. So I went to try and get it from the dog we struggled for about 30 mins trying to retrieve the ball from the dog. All while the owner kept saying good girl and cheering his dog on in this game of take away. Oh I should also mention I was pregnant at the time. The dog stopped at the owner many times and he would just ignore me and let his dog keep the ball. This park seems to have a stigma against my Doberman even though it seems like he's the one being nipped at by people poodles If you go in the evening though at dusk you can usually avoid the rude elderly and you and your dog can actually enjoy it. This is just two times there has been many more incidences.
