Thanks to a recent boost from First Federal, Sequim Museum & Arts is closer to completing its campus.

Judith Reandeau Stipe, Sequim Museum & Arts Executive Director, recently met with Jan Simon, First Federal Community Funds Executive Director and staff members to celebrate a $5,000 grant awarded for the museum’s building fund.

“We are so grateful to this community banking institution for their support to move toward completion of our new museum,” Stipe said. “As the end of our project nears, our proposed budget needs $100,000 to finish the campus.”
