WEEKEND: Home improvement experts to gather under one roof for building expo in Sequim on Saturday, Sunday

SEQUIM — North Olympic Peninsula residents can get help with planning home improvements “from the ground to the ceiling and everything in between” at the 18th annual Building, Remodeling & Energy Expo this weekend.

The expo, sponsored by the North Peninsula Building Association, will have more than 60 vendors offering home improvement and home building options.

It’s the largest home building show on the North Olympic Peninsula, organizers say.

The expo will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday at Sequim High School, 601 N. Sequim Ave.

“It is an exclusively residential trade event,” said Diana Johnson, executive director of the building association.

Vendors will offer the latest products and designs in everything from composting to solar power, Johnson said.

Anyone who is considering building a home or who owns a home should consider visiting the expo to keep up on current trends, she said.

Expo activities will include demonstrations and workshops, some with product samples.

Vendors include building and trade professionals, crafters, architects, designers, wholesalers, retailers, landscapers or providers to the building, remodeling and energy trades.

The NPBA membership list of local licensed, insured, bonded and vetted industry professionals also will be available to guests.

Demonstrations scheduled

Demonstrations of skills and techniques by experts in their fields will be ongoing each day, she said.

Demonstrations and workshops planned are:
