This is almost too easy for a chocaholic. Lucky for me it’s never been open when I’ve passed by.

More of the new PUD building
The new Clallam County PUD office building has interesting angles, including these timber posts at the entrance. They are a striking feature at a distance or closer, as shown here.
Smaller timbers support awnings over windows on the north and south sides of the building. The building is 29,496 square feet and houses about 120 employees. Customers can pay their bills here or at small satellite offices in Port Angeles (Jim’s Pharmacy) or Sequim (Clallam Co-Op). There is also an after hours drop in the parking lot. The new street address is 104 Hooker Road, Sequim.
The new PUD building
The Clallam County Public Utility District (PUD) moved into its new headquarters in the Carlsborg area last month. This view of the building is across Highway 101 and shows most of the new $8 million main office. The building is on land next to the old Costco building off Hooker Road. That building is now a PUD warehouse.
The old PUD office in Port Angeles was built in the 1960s. Expanding it and bringing it up to current code was estimated to cost as much as constructing a new building. The PUD decided to locate this new building closer to its expanding customer base. I’ll share a couple more shots tomorrow.
Down by the river
I was tickled to discover a new-to-me eagle’s nest near the Railroad Bridge. It’s conveniently located with a prime river view.
I waited a long time to see if either eagle went out for a snack but they settled in…though they kept an eye out for opportunities.
That barn
I lost track of how many times I intended to shoot this barn before I finally pulled over and did it.
Not today
It’ll be a while before it’s picnic weather again. {{sigh}}
Details
I like some of the details on the newly reopened Railroad Bridge.
This panel looks to me almost like something by Frank Lloyd Wright or an Arts and Crafts designer.
