Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
From up on Bell Hill you could see protection island and even Mt Baker faintly in the distance. Sequim doesn’t usually get much snow in town. But if you go up just 100 ft into the foothills (like the Bell Hill neighborhood) you’ll find snow.
It’s a little store surrounded by farms. Has a little of everything and is a GREAT place to stop for a lil treat or drink.
There is a black communication board with want ads, jobs, things to give away or sell. Carried over from the times before texting and the internet!

IF…you can get up Bell Hill in the winter with snow, you will be treated to beautiful views (it’s always beautiful- but extraordinary in winter)
Here you can see protection island and in the far distance a peak at Mt Baker.
Every September Port Townsend hosts the Wooden Boat Festival (unless there is a raging pandemic of course!)
Boat makers show their wares. Owners let people board their vessels. It’s a boat street festival with people from all over the united states attending.
I was able to get this shot early before anyone had arrived. Processed in Topaz 2 to give it a painterly effect.
Suzanne is an amazing photographer. And she is so lucky to live in the Happy Valley neighborhood where the Elk come to her! She can always recognize this buck because of his wonky front antler which she thinks got damaged early on in a fight.
There are a lot of very unique houses in this area (as well as Elk-not seen here)
