Sequim: Committee wants to assume project that determines revered mural’s fate

SEQUIM — A committee trying to help shape the future of a popular downtown mural wants more direction from the Sequim-Dungeness Chamber of Commerce.

On Thursday night the committee — comprised of people who were involved in the effort to have the mural painted on the former home of Lehman’s Mark & Pak in 1994 as part of the Sequim 2000 beautification effort — asked their leader, Bill Thomas, to bring guidelines back to their next meeting in two weeks.

Sequim 2000 eventually evolved into the nonprofit Community Foundation for the Sequim-Dungeness Valley.

Committee members expressed heartburn that no one from the chamber board was at the meeting and that groundwork wasn’t done by the chamber before the time a contract to keep the mural on the building in the 100 block of East Washington Street was voided.
