These elk are the largest of their kind and will leave you in awe of these gentle giants. You should also check out the Olympic Discovery Trail.

Sequim is ideal for people who like to play outside! There are plenty of parks for you and your kids to play at or golf courses if you remembered your clubs. There are plenty of trails you can go biking on or jogging on to keep that beach bod!

Kayakers and boaters will also be able to go out on the bay and enjoy the open waters.
