Open house set for Saturday at Sequim High building

SEQUIM — Restoration work at the old Sequim High School building at 503 N. Sequim Ave. will be on view during an open house Saturday.

The celebration will begin with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 1 p.m. outside the Sequim Avenue entrance by the old school bell.

Highlights will include a performance by the Sequim High School Choir and guided tours of the facilities.

An exhibit of historic area schoolhouses will be on display. Light refreshments will be served.

The open house will continue until 4 p.m.

“During this time, the public is invited to walk throughout the building and view the work completed and still in progress on this historic building,” said Patsene Dashiell, district spokeswoman.

Special recognition will be given to building-trades students who contributed to restoration from 2007 to the present, she said.

Parking will be available at the high school lot on Sequim Avenue.

Construction workers stand on what remains of the old U.S. 101 bridge over the Elwha River on Wednesday as the aging structure is dismantled. The old bridge, built in 1926, was in danger of washout when the river beneath changed course and engineers discovered the bridge piers were built on gravel instead of bedrock, leading to constructon of a new bridge, at right, which was opened to traffic in 2024. The old bridge was to remain in place until a fish-spawning window, which runs from mid-July until the end of August.
