Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
What’s better than a warm summer day? A warm summer day on the beach.
We camped last week with some of the nicest weather of the year. One campground we called home featured this beach on the Hood Canal and beautiful views of the Olympic Mountains. Scenic Beach State Park is a short hop from Silverdale, near Seabeck, a beautiful little coastal town.
Today is Theme Day for City Daily Photo photographers and the theme challenge is “Take Away Store” or, for us in the U.S., “Take Out.”
Modest shops like these are typically unassuming, often family owned, and can be hit or miss. For me, Koto Teriyaki in Sequim is a hit. The owners are very nice and as part of the usual teriyaki and Asian fare they offer a nice yakisoba that’s just right when we need a noodle fix.

Here’s the restaurant that’s located next to the totem pole I showed you yesterday. (You can see the top of the pole at the right of this photo.) The Double Eagle Restaurant is located at the Cedars at Dungeness Golf Course. It serves dinner and specializes in steak and seafood. At the back of the building is Stymie’s Bar and Grill which serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a more casual atmosphere. This is another of the businesses run by the local Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe.
This is at the base of a totem pole at the Cedars at Dungeness Golf Course, owned by the local Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe. Fitting for a golf course, wouldn’t you say?
Here’s one of our locally-owned restaurants, the Old Mill Cafe in Carlsborg. It’s a reliable stop for a tasty breakfast. They also serve lunch and dinner but we’ve liked the breakfasts so much it’s gotten stuck as one of our breakfast meccas. They have a selection of burgers that sounds like they take them seriously. I’ve got to give that a try.
The restaurant has some beautiful glass windows. One of the owners is a stained glass artist.
This window, beautifully framed in blue, is nicely complimented by blue glass vases.
There is also an interesting array of old logging tools and equipment. The cafe is across the street from the location of an old lumber mill.

This is a view I see often. I’ve yet to tire of it.
