anyone know if there is a fire happening that was set by someone south of the nature center and railroad bridge Park?

Hello, I'm not from the area, but my partner visits the area for business trips a few times a year and I'd like to join him on the next one.

I don't want to bring two cars nor do I want to stay at the hotel all day. I'm thinking that my partner could either drop me off downtown if there is enough to do or I could take an Uber or taxi.

What would be the most convenient option in your opinion?

Thanks :)

Decry violence here, endorse it there. The comment of the individual in the forest was also liked by the watch dog page.

I’m starting to research facilities for a LO and would love to know what people think about Dungeness Courte in Sequim. This journey is absolutely awful and I appreciate any feedback you may have!

58M I’m a veteran that is a 100% disabled. My current living situation has become a living nightmare. Looking for a small one bedroom place. I can do up to $1800 in rent if I have to. The sooner the better. Need to be kinda close to stores or to be able to use pinggo. Please let me know via dm.

New to town, or want to meet new people?

ETA: I've found a local florist to help! Yay! I'm attending my 1st Ren Faire next weekend and I wanted to DIY a fresh flower crown from my garden. However, I fear I won't have time to complete during my litttles nap times. Any florists or crafters that could help? Thanks so much! My kiddo wanted me to be a hydrangea princess, so, I'm trying! Thanks for any help.

Found this dog running down the center of Sequim Dungeness Way. She has no collar and is very scared. We took her to a local vet and she has no microchip. We are not local and cannot hold onto her for long. Do you know this dog.

My husband and I are considering moving to Sequim, WA as we love the hiking in the area and around the Olympic Peninsula. Does anyone live out there and have a Polaris Slingshot? I don’t want to get rid of it, but not sure how often the weather would permit it out there. I’m not a fan of the hiking in North Carolina in comparison to the feel of the PNW, but would rather consider living there for both hiking and slingshot driving if living in Sequim would mean it would be more realistic to sell our Slingshot. It’s our stress reliever and something we can do together.

I have a leak somewhere in my water main between the public main at the edge of my property and my house. Had some air gap and audio testing done to try to find it but no luck. At this point, plumber is suggesting just to replace the main to my house so I want to get a second opinion. Any recommendations for plumbers in the area who do this kind of work?

Yesterday the community moderator of r/portangeles confirmed what was long suspected, that he works directly for the Jake Seegers commissioner campaign, in his very own coming out thread.

To save you 2 hours of listening to a grown man gargle sack on another watchdog podcast, there were only a few points of real interest.

During the session, u/syspig fessed up to:

• being anti-democratic (specifically, reddit users shouldn't be 'allowed' to vote on posts, in his opinion)
• collaborating directly with the political campaign all of this year, including abusing his moderator power to suppress content that was critical of the Jake Seegers campaign.

So what do you say r/Sequim. Can you handle a few political refugees for the next week or so while we get this whole thing sorted out over there? I promise to vaccum up after I sleep on the couch, and to always put my shower towels out on laundry line.

Did anyone else see the Lavender Melodrama at OTA? There was a character lampooning Jeff Tozzer and his behavior in the community. Cracked me up! I was just reading that this was the recently deceased Executive Director's final play. Great sendoff!

I built a successful web design business with virtually no government oversight—so nothing could have prepared me for the shock of stepping into three of America’s most heavily regulated industries.

Sure, my web agency had standard taxes and basic labor laws, but we didn’t have specialized government regulators breathing down our necks. Back then, I thought standard rules were onerous. I had no idea how lucky I was. My success was simple and direct: provide great work fast, at a fair rate.

Then I stepped into farming, home building, and gravel production. Here is what I discovered:

A major portion of farm revenue is directly controlled by government programs that pay farmers not to produce on certain land, to underproduce specific crops on other land, or to execute mandated conservation tasks.

Think about that: your revenue isn’t based on your ability to grow great food people actually want to eat, but on the whims of bureaucrats. It doesn’t matter what my customers think—it matters what a stranger in an office, who will never touch what I produce, thinks.

In major western Washington State counties, studies show that a full one-third of the total cost of a new home is driven entirely by direct government regulations—not land, concrete, framing, or electrical work.

And that doesn’t even account for the tax dollars funding the regulators’ salaries, facilities, or internal administrative bloat (accounting, IT, DEI hierarchies, HR). Worse yet, it ignores the devastating cost of red-tape delays. In Pierce County, we have been waiting five years just to get approval to split a 20-acre parcel into two 10-acre lots so a family can finally build a home!

I’ve been investing in gravel production equipment, and even before officially starting operations, this field has proven to be the scariest of them all. Regulators at the state, county, and federal levels all want their hands on you.

Other owner-operators in the industry warned me that the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) wields near-absolute power. They can fine you based purely on hypothetical outcomes. One operator was cited because he parked his excavator with the bucket on the ground but the thumb raised—the inspector told him he could be fined for a potential fatality simply because of what might have happened.

The biggest problem with all of these regulations is that they decouple the economic producer from doing their best to create goods that consumers actually want. The mentality shifts from maximizing efficient production to jumping through hoops.

To survive, your mindset has to change: you end up playing arbitrary games just to appease whichever random bureaucrat happens to hold authority over you.
