There are so many lovely places for weekend getaways in WA State, but one of the most incredible hidden gems on the coast is the beautiful town of Sequim. Only about two hours from Seattle, the charming small town of Sequim is nestled at the foot of the Olympic Mountains along the Dungeness River. Due to Sequim’s location in the rain shadow of the mountain range, there’s less rainfall here than in other parts of Washington State.
Locals call it “Sunny Sequim,” and year-round, you’ll find beautiful clear days, perfect for strolls on the beach, wildlife and birdwatching, and hikes in the Olympic National Park. When you take weekend getaways in WA State to this part of the peninsula, you’ll love the vicinity to the water and the mountains! It’s truly the best of both worlds for outdoor enthusiasts, nature lovers, and those looking to unwind and relax in the fresh air.
Our waterfront cottages in Sequim are the ideal lodging for your weekend getaways in WA State. Each of our six comfortable and cozy cabins overlooks Dungeness Bay and our private beach area. It’s the perfect place to sit back, relax, and take in the sunset. Start planning your next vacation and book your stay with us today!
