Time for pumpkins »
By:Brenda Hanrahan
A trip to the Sequim Pumpkin Patch has become an autumn tradition for many North Olympic Peninsula families. The farm offers plenty of pumpkins of all shapes and sizes, corn and straw mazes, pony rides, hayrides, the famous “pumpkin shoot,” a haunted house and even a few tasty treats.
Autumn in the Sequim-Dungeness Valley doesn’t truly arrive until you pack family and friends in the car for a trip to the Sequim Pumpkin Patch.
