Essay:
Sequim is Full of Life
Washington is called the Evergreen State because we have lots of water that helps plants and trees live. Sequim is full of life.
My favorite part of Sequim is the Railroad Bridge Park. I get to ride my scooter under the shady trees, look down in the river for salmon, and run on trails through the salal berries. When I reach the river’s edge, I sit on a rock, gently put my feet in the water, and watch it ripple while I take a breath.
If all of this water flowed in one place, most of Sequim would be dry and lifeless. The irrigation ditches help farmers grow crops to feed people and animals.
Water fills Sequim with life!
