One of a Kind Lodgings
The John Wayne Waterfront Resort sits along Sequim Bay adjacent to the John Wayne Marina.  The resort has cabins for rent, an RV park, and camp sites. The resort is owned by the family of the famous movie star John Wayne.  Stop by the office and you'll find an assortment of memorabilia and souvenirs.  Why does the Wayne family have a resort in Sequim?  The actor used to bring his family yacht, the "Wild Goose" to Sequim Bay.  He fell in love with the area and envisioned a marina in the scenic bay.  His family donated 22 acres of land and the marina, now operated by the Port of Port Angeles, was built in 1985.  The resort is next to the marina.

Purple Haze Lavender Farm is one of the original lavender farms in Sequim. This popular destination is open to visitors spring through fall, but their downtown store is open year-round, and the craftsman style vacation rental at the farm is available most of the year. Experience the joy of spending a few days on a 12 acre organic farm with the sweet scent of lavender in the air.   Purple Haze Lavender

Stay in a railroad caboose!  Each has its own theme.  Do you feel like staying in the Orient Express, the Lavender Limited, or the Grape Escape?  Or maybe you'd prefer a western or circus themed caboose.  Whichever you choose you'll be treated first class, including a gourmet breakfast in the Silver Eagle dining car.  Red Caboose Getaway

    The Red Caboose Getaway B & B offers a unique lodging experience.  You might have to plan multiple trips and stay in each one.
