SEQUIM – They’re ramping up the lulling. Lavender, a lighthouse, lovely young ladies – Sequim has them all plus other soothing sights, says this year’s crop of marketing messages.
And now that the lavender fields “have a teeny bit of color,” according to Sequim Marketing Action Committee chairwoman Patricia McCauley, it’s high time to promote them and their tranquilizing effects to the wider world.
The group’s Web site, www.VisitSun.com, will this week add a link to the Web camera at Purple Haze, a 7.5-acre organic lavender farm on Bell Bottom Road.
Along with publishing a five-day guide to attractions from Hurricane Ridge to birding, biking and kayaking around the Dungeness Valley, VisitSun.com also has a link to the Dungeness Lighthouse weather camera.
The computerized weather station on Dungeness Spit, however, hasn’t been working since last month, but Lighthouse Association president Johan Van Nimwegen said it would be working again by midweek.
Abundant images and information are also available at www.NewDungenessLighthouse.com.
The weather station ran on a donated computer that failed, Van Nimwegen said Tuesday.
“Due to the remoteness of the area, it’s been difficult to service.”
But John Haller, a Sequim High School student, and Bob Sampson, a retiree, have spearheaded efforts to get the weather station up and running again.
