Springtime celebration
Pioneer Park is a little park in downtown Sequim. It’s on Washington Street, the town’s main drag. In springtime a combination of flowering trees and shrubs completely lights up this little corner of the world.
It’s a pretty spot year round but springtime is magnificent.
Park rejuvination
Back in May a downtown Pioneer Park rejuvenation was formally unveiled. A fountain originally built in 1965 and closed down in the 1990s was renovated, restoring running water to the small park that fronts onto Sequim’s main thoroughfare, Washington Street. The original fountain was larger than what you see here, about five feet high and fully 15 feet wide. Seed money had been given by one of Sequim’s pioneer family, the Lotzgesells, in memory of a family member. Maintenance issues shut the fountain down. The latest iteration, while more modest than the original, is a nice addition to downtown and nicely landscaped by members of the Sequim Prairie Garden Club.
