TripAdvisor Reviews of New Dungeness Lighthouse in Sequim
Access to the Dungeness Lighthouse involves a 5.5 mile (8.9 km) hike one way. (Check the tide tables before setting out!)
Tip: 5.5 miles is longer than it seems but the destination and views are worth the trek. Boating and kayaking to the lighthouse are also possible.
Members of the New Dungeness Lighthouse Association can be volunteer Lighthouse Keepers for a week’s time, staying in the Lighthouse for the duration of one’s stint. See the website for all the details on this Sequim Washington attraction.

TripAdvisor Reviews of the Dungeness River Audubon Center in Sequim WA
Railroad Bridge Park: When the railroad line was discontinued, the railroad bridge over the Dungeness was converted into a foot trail that ties into the Olympic Discovery Trail. The rails and ties are gone; the bridge and trail now provides for comfortable walking through some truly lovely scenery.
Dungeness River Audubon Center: This Sequim Washington attraction is located within the Railroad Bridge Park on the bank of the Dungeness River. The Audubon gives free field tours ("bird walk") every Wednesday, and the Center features taxidermy displays of all the local fauna of the area, including much more than just birds. You'll also find an interpretive center and gift store.

At one time the owners of this Sequim Washington attraction worked closely with Disney Studios producing wildlife films featuring their animals.

- Jardin du Soleil
- Purple Haze Lavender Farm
- Victor's Lavender Farm

Cristy, from Port Orchard, Wa, Says:
"I wanted you to know that I appreciate your book so much! I have a few books about hikes in the area but your book is unique. I love how you include maps, online resources, restaurants, places to stay, and on and on.
"Plus, your writing is professional yet personal. Our neighbors just moved to Washington and have been trying to explore the local area. I recommended this book to them. They bought it on the spot!
"Thank you for the time and effort you put into making a much needed book. I have lived here most of my life; with your book, I feel like I’m discovering where we live through a new lens. It's simply wonderful" (Cristy, Wa).
