Coffee with the Mayor
The City of Sequim’s April 23 Coffee with the Mayor meeting has been cancelled because of statewide meeting restrictions surrounding the 2019 novel coronavirus issue. The city is working on a virtual solution that will hopefully be in place for the May Coffee with the Mayor meeting if necessary, city officials said this week.
Contact Mayor William Armacost at warmacost@sequimwa.gov for more information.

Fairview Grange event

Duck Derby
The Duck Derby, an annual fundraiser for the Olympic Medical Center Foundation, has been suspended indefinitely.
The 31st iteration of the event was scheduled for May at Lincoln Park in Port Angeles.

State Parks free days
Washington State Parks is postponing its two scheduled free days in April because of coronavirus-related park closures.
April 11 and April 22 — a spring free day and Earth Day, respectively — were to be the fourth and fifth of 12 State Parks free days in 2020, when visitors are not required to display the Discover Pass for day-use visits to a park.
Based on Gov. Jay Inslee’s extension of Washington’s stay at home order to prevent the spread of the coronavirus and COVID-19, Washington state parks will remain closed through May 4.
State Parks will designate two days later in the year to make up for the missed free days in April.
History Tales
The North Olympic History Center has cancelled its History Tales programs for the remainder of the 2019-2020 season. The lecture series resumes the 2020-2021 season on Sunday, Oct. 4.
The History Center’s Vintage sale, scheduled for June 5-6, has been postponed to Aug. 7-8.
While the office is closed, emails are monitored. Those with questions are asked to send them to artifact@olypen.com.
