Stacks of plastic Easter pails surrounded by icy snow at the Pumpkin Patch off Highway 101 in Sequim speak of the lower than expected turnout for the traditional Easter Egg, due to a brief storm of hail, snow and thunder that descended upon Sequim on Saturday. Susan Sorenson of co-sponsor KSQM 91.5 said that the radio played announcements to start the hunt earlier than the scheduled 1 p.m. start time.
