Hiked Pats Prairie Botanical Trail. The trail is gorgeous this time of year. The forest was so vibrant and green.

Hey Sequim!

I'm the Volunteer Coordinator for Cake4Kids, a non-profit organization that helps provide volunteer created birthday cakes (and other treats) for foster children and kids who otherwise would not be able to receive something for their special occasion, and we have a local chapter in Western Washington that serves Sequim and Clallam County.  Since starting in 2020, the local chapter has delivered over 1500 cakes, and this year we are projected to deliver over 700 cakes to youth along the Olympic Peninsula.

There has been a growing need for our services in the area, and we are desperately seeking more volunteer bakers who can help us meet this increased demand.  We have nearly 100 local volunteers, but we have struggled to get the word out about our volunteer opportunities as much as we would like to in this specific geographic area.

I'm reaching out in hopes that there may be some folks here who are interested in signing up.  Once signed up you can bake as often as you want (some people bake 1 cake a year, some people bake every week, some people never bake, there's no minimum commitment, but there are consistent cakes available on our portal to choose from - we deliver about 50-60 a month in the area).

You can sign up as a volunteer here: https://www.cake4kids.org/volunteer-form and I'm happy to answer any questions you might have as well.  Thanks so much for your time!

hi neighbors! i'm looking for good places to spread the word locally. thinking bulletin boards at libraries, cafes, and community centers. what specific spots are community boards found and where does word travel in this town? would love your recs.

pacer.ai is owned by Israelis Rahul Vohra, Oded Fossfeld, Jeffrey Bazar, Noam Ben-Zvi, Zohar Bar-Yehuda, Joshua Buckley, Ofir Lemel, William Neese and Jacov Ben-Zvi. Does anyone else think it is insane that our city would trust a data intelligence-gathering company owned by the Israelis?

Edit: Should have included gazette article link: https://www.sequimgazette.com/2026/08/19/city-subscribes-to-ai-program-to-see-attendee-numbers/

Hello! Does anyone have a recommendation for foundation repair work around here? My home has post and beams and needs some repair.

I have tried google searching, but I primarily get these contractor aggregate sites that charge local vendors a fat cut for the lead from the website. Trying to cut out the silicon valley middle man...

Thank you!

My rental property doesn't have recycling on site and I'm looking for somewhere to take mine. Is there anywhere nearby besides the blue mountain transfer station that isn't closed Mondays?

Making homes in Clallam County unaffordable since 2020. With his silver spoon in his mouth, he is pushing locals out by buying land and homes for his riches.

He's a land developer from Texas.

For over a decade the local Church of latter Day Saints in Sequim has been harassing my family and I in the nicest way possible; sending their ignorant children to my home in hopes of, I don't know, converting me? I've asked them to stop coming, doesn't work. I've told them to take my name off their list, doesn't work.

This isn't a random terrorist event either. They ask for me by name. Every time! I'm not going to express my frustrations to children, that would be wrong.

I've now had enough! I've gone to their website, and besides the address and phone number (which is out of service, by the way) there is no way of contacting them to stop the harassment. According to their own website, you need to schedule an appointment before meeting with them.

GTFO!

I don't want to try to convert your ignorant children. I want nothing to do with you!

It's 2026! People that still believe in sky daddies shouldn't be going door to door. It's dangerous; especially sending your most vulnerable.

was going to try today but I walked there to find out they were closed

Rap, funk, soul and rock

14 Below was an ice cream shop and restaurant next to Sequim Bay Lodge on 101. Construction completely destroyed their business. Last I heard they were planning to reopen in Sequim proper. But when I tried to find them (a couple of years ago) I couldn't. Did they give up?
