Come and enjoy this great ride! Now in its 2nd decade, when this ride began back in 2013 my desire was to bring people up to enjoy the beauty of our paradise. Since then, thousands have discovered the joy of cycling and the beauty of America’s Provence where the mountains roll out to the sea and lavender grows so well.

May is National Bike Month, and it’s a perfect time to plan a trip to the Sequim-Dungeness Valley for bicycling adventures.

Coffee grounds have found their place!

Lavender's purple-hued flowers smell divine and are a magnet for bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects

Ron Stecker received the Citizen of the Year Award! Congratulations to our faithful photographer and friend!!

Here is our nomination letter:

We would like to submit this letter as a follow-up to our nomination of Ron Stecker for the 2025 Sequim-Dungeness Valley Citizen of the Year Award. For at least a decade, Ron Stecker has made a concerted effort to come to our Sequim Valley lavender farms and photograph the varied lavender farm events that have drawn thousands of tourists year after year. His professional quality photographs have provided excellent marketing material for social media, tourism magazines and websites.

The goodwill to our community by the dedicated efforts of Ron Stecker is noteworthy and remarkable. Whenever an event was held, Ron would be there ready to contribute his skill as a professional quality photographer. At his age, one would think that he would be looking for a way to relax and just soak in the sights and sounds. Instead, he would be crouching low or lying on the ground to get the best angle for an ideal picture. Hours would be spent getting the right light and close up of facial expressions that proved to be amazing marketing material for the farms. The weight of his heavy and expensive cameras as he moved around the large farms all day long must have been exhausting. This contribution to our valley's agritourism was invaluable to the Sequim economy and deserves recognition.

The Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce named its 2024 Citizen of the Year Tuesday but did something it has not done since 2017 - awarded honors to a Humanitarian of the Year.

FADING FLOWERS

“The flowers which grow in earth’s garden wither in our hands while we smell at them.”

They are as frail as they are fair. They grow out of the dust, and to the dust must they return. As Herbert says, “Their root is ever in their grave, And they must die.” How speedy is their withering, they are gathered by the hand, and laid before us, and they wilt and become sickly, fainting, decaying objects. At the very longest, their lives smile through a day or two, and all is over.

Which of earth’s joys is better than her flowers? Health flies, wealth takes to itself wings, honor is a puff of air, and pleasure is a bubble. Only from heaven can we expect “pleasure forever more,” and “everlasting joy.” The Rose of Sharon blooms through all the ages, and the Lily of the Valley, which is Jesus himself, outlasts all time,—yea, this is the only Everlasting Flower, for he only hath immortality. Why, then, should we seek for the living among the dead, or search for substance in the land of shadows? Henceforth, my soul, gather thy Hearts-ease in the garden of the Lord, pluck thy Forget-me-nots from beds which Christ has planted, and look for thy Crown-Imperial only in the Paradise above.

The flowers of the field are children’s adornments. See how the little ones garland themselves, and fashion chaplets with the buttercups and daisies. Earth’s loveliest joys are good child’s play; but, my soul, thou hast to act a nobler part: seek thou the bliss which fadeth not away. Turn thou to God, thine exceeding joy, and then if thy years be multiplied upon earth thou shalt have a life-long possession, or if thou be caught away suddenly thou shalt carry with thee in thy bosom the rosebud of a life which will open to perfection in the land where fading and withering are things unknown.
