Sequim Daily Photo

Our local Hispanic Folkloric group danced in front of a packed crowd, Saturday the 16th, in Guy Cole Convention Center at Carrie Blake park This year’s celebration featured dances from 7 different states in Mexico. Most of the costumes worn are purchased in Mexico. The dancers are composed of local business people, high school and middle school students. The local Hispanic Community wants to share their culture with their children and their friends who live here in Sequim.

One of the favorite spots to take out of town guests is Hurricane Ridge This photo was taken last weekend by my neighbor and friend Shannon.

I loved the color of these ballons against the sky. One of the street venders was selling them during our Irrigation Festival.

It’s soccer season in Sequim! I had the pleasure of watching two grandsons play this last weekend. As I was walking by this game, I took this picture and heard the coach question, “Do you remember those white lines I talked about? We need to keep the ball inside the white lines.” I questioned one of the moms about what the arrow was for….it helps the little ones remember which goal is theirs. Thank goodness for all the volunteer coaches who help kids learn to love this sport!

It’s true..and you can find him at Coneheads…and awesome icecream, mochas, lattes, calories….

They stand silently for an hour each time, dressed in black, holding peace signs, bearing silent witness to all those who have died as the result of conflict in the world. Sequim has it own group of women and I honor their commitment to peace.

There are very few of us who don’t remember where we were 5 years ago when the planes crashed in to the World Trade Center. This photo was taken at last Spring’s Irrigation Festival. In Sequim there are many days when the main avenue is lined with flags.
