Today was our first full day in
Sequim (pronounced squim) Washington. We stayed at the
Dungeness Bay Cottages, a really nice 6 unit hotel with a beautiful view of the
Dungeness Spit. The Spit is the longest natural sand spit in the world, over 5 miles long. The owners of the cottages are a wonderful couple who were a wealth of information about the area. Most of what we saw or did was based on their recommendation. The cottages had full kitchens and were a great value for what you got: Ocean out the front window, farms and snow-topped mountains out the back windows.
We had great meals today. Breakfast at the
Oak Table in Sequim, lunch at
Fins in Port Townsend and dinner at a Tapas bar in Poulsbo.
Port Townsend is a beautiful Victorian town with old brick buildings that still have advertisements painted on them.
Poulsbo is a kind of cheesy but still fun tourist town that has decided to be Norwegian. Most of the town has a Norway flavor to it. Some great old friends bought us some delicious pastries at Sluys Bakery in Poulsbo.
We also stopped at the
Seven Cedars Casino and contributed some money to the local Indian tribe.
