Residents expressed concerns on Feb. 27 to Sequim’s hearing examiner that improvements should be made to West Brownfield Road before any developments go in nearby. City staff said they’re negotiating with a developer to pay some of the costs to realign and repair the road so it’s safer and has better drainage.
