Getting Around Sequim: Walkability, Public Transit & Biking

Sequim is somewhat walkable, particularly in its compact downtown area, where travelers can easily navigate shops, boutiques, and restaurants. The town's compact size allows one to explore its core comfortably on foot. Additionally, Sequim has areas like Carrie Blake Park connected to a mile-long trail, part of the Olympic Discovery Trail, enhancing walking experiences. However, some attractions like lavender farms and the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge are on the outskirts, meaning a car or bike might be necessary for comprehensive exploration.

Sequim's public transportation includes Clallam Transit buses servicing the Clallam County area and connections to the Bainbridge Island ferry. While buses have bike racks and there is service to nearby towns like Port Townsend, the frequency and routing might not be convenient, sometimes making walking faster than public transit. For travelers looking to venture into Olympic National Park, public transport options are quite limited.

Sequim offers excellent biking opportunities, with accolades as a 'Bicycle Friendly Community' and its position along the Olympic Discovery Trail bolstering its appeal. This 120-mile trail, with a significant paved section from Sequim to Port Angeles, is ideal for biking. The trail infrastructure, coupled with Sequim's dry climate and organized group rides by the Sequim Bicycle Alliance, makes cycling an attractive option for travelers.
