The 3 days in Sequim were mostly about just visiting with my mom. She lives in a very nice independent living facility with her own apartment. The services are great: room cleaning, shuttle to take residents on errands, day trips to local venues, recreation room, exercise classes, etc. They serve 3 meals a day in their dining room and the food is quite good. I tended to skip breakfasts and go out for a run instead and even though they have some vegetarian options on the menu, I was quite satisfied with their expansive salad bar.
I did two really nice runs while there, a 7-miler and a 5-miler. The 7 was out to the railroad bridge as I’ve done in the past when visiting. It is an actual railroad bridge that’s been converted into a pedestrian path and is part of the Olympic Discovery Trail.
The 5-miler was to a very nice city park that had large playing fields, a huge bandstand, a Japanese garden, pickle ball, a skate park, a dog park, and a botanical garden.
Most of the time was just visiting or eating but I did find their recreation room and practiced my pool gave a couple times.
I took.one side trip on my own while I was there. I rode my motorcycle to the Olympic National Park just south of Port Angeles. The road goes up to Hurricane Ridge and is full of twists and turns. Once on top, there is a spectacular view of the mountains. I did this ride for the first time when I was here last May and, like the Beartooth Highway, it never gets dull.
On the way back down I remembered that there was a brewery nearby so I stippled for an oatmeal stout.
That pretty much sums up my 3 days there.
The ride to Hurricane Ridge was a 75 mile outing.
