Sequim resumes roadwork on Seventh Avenue

SEQUIM — Roadwork that the City of Sequim began this week to rehabilitate portions of North Seventh Avenue is expected to be completed by mid-June. The work is scheduled to run 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Roadwork is being completed at:

• North Seventh Avenue, from West Spruce Street to West Fir Street

• North Spalder Loop

• South Spalder Loop

Residents can expect delays, localized closures and detours during work hours, city officials said. Resident access will be provided, though they are encouraged to heed flaggers, cones and construction signage, and “to be cognizant of large construction equipment and trucks and their backup alarms,” city representatives said.

This project includes the installation of a new 8-inch-diameter water main, valves, hydrants, 4-inch and 3-inch-diameter water supply piping, concrete sidewalk, curb and gutter, HMA (hot mix asphalt) pavement, pavement markings and other associated work.

Funded by water restricted funds, the project is being completed by crews from Jamestown Excavating, Lakeside Industries, Smugglers Cove Flagging and Northwest Traffic.

The City of Sequim began the water main replacement project on Seventh Avenue in October 2022, but the paving portion of the project was delayed due to weather. The asphalt plant usually closes between December and March because weather conditions do not allow paving during that time, city officials said.

The paddles are among the thousands of gifts being created for participants in the 2025 Tribal Canoe Journey, hosted this year by the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe. The event begins with the landing of dozens of native canoes at the mouth of the Elwha River on July 31 and continues with five days of celebration on the Lower Elwha reservation west of Port Angeles. As many as 10,000 indigenous peoples are expected to take part. The public is invited to help with giftmaking sessions, scheduled daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Heritage Center.
