Sequim Dungeness Lighthouse

The Sequim Lighthouse, also known as the Dungeness Lighthouse, is located near the end of the Sequim Spit, a good 11 mile round trip hike. Many people make it an afternoon pleasure hike and take a lunch and water, and if it’s a sunny day, which it always is in Sequim, it is a lot of fun. Oh, don't forget to take some drinking water.

The Sequim Lighthouse, which is formally called the New Dungeness Lighthouse is one of the oldest lighthouses in the Northwest, and it is also one of the few lighthouses that permits families the opportunities to be Lighthouse Keepers for a week. This weekend I enjoyed a tour into the light tower by a tour guide from Colorado. Tour guides don’t all live in Sequim. There are lighthouse families around the country, and coming to the Sequim Lighthouse for a week is a great mini-vacation. It’s not all play, because my tour guide had to walk up the stairs to the light tower every time she gave the tour.
