Summer closure at Sequim Bay State Park brings major upgrades

SEQUIM — Sequim Bay State Park will close from June 5 until fall for major renovations to its entrance and parking area.

This capital construction project will:

• reconfigure the park entrance
• install a roundabout and new signage
• improve access to the existing welcome center
• ease traffic flow in the day-use parking area

Park staff will also use this time to make repairs to park restrooms.

The new entrance will alleviate congestion and backups onto US 101 as visitors are turning into the park, and it will provide a more pleasant experience driving within the park.

The segment of the long-distance Olympic Discovery Trail that passes through Sequim Bay will remain open for through travel. Boaters can access the park's offshore mooring buoys from the water, but onshore restrooms, camping and boat launch will be closed.

The Ramblewood Retreat Center, which has its own entrance, will remain open for  guests with reservations only.

The park will be an active construction site for the summer. For your safety, please respect all closures and avoid work areas.
