General Information
Surviving the heat (general guidelines)
Stay in the coolest environment available. Use an air conditioner if it is available. When using a fan, keep windows open on the shady side and use the fan to ventilate living quarters. Spend time in air conditioned public places if no air conditioning is available and temperatures are above 90 degrees.
drink plenty of cool water and other iced non- alcoholic and non- caffeine liquids
eat regularly, but eat light, easily digested food, avoiding hot, heavy meals. Limit cooking to keep indoor temperatures down.
Dress in loose- fitting, lightweight and light- colored natural fiber clothing. Wear a hat to protect your head from sun.
Limit activity in the middle of the day when temperatures are the highest. Adjust working hours for those working outdoors or in non air conditioned buildings whenever possible, and provide frequent breaks with plenty of fluids.
Bathe or shower frequently in cool water
If you have cardiovascular disease, do not increase salt or potassium intake without consulting your doctor. Check all medications with your doctor or pharmacist for increased risk of heat illness.
If you feel unusually weak, dizzy, or confused, call your doctor or 911.
Check regulary on elderly, chronically ill or incapacitated relatives, neighbors and friends who do not have air conditioning.
If you are age 60 or older , have been sick lately, or live alone without air conditioning, it is strongly recommended that you go to an air conditioned place for at least several hours each day when a heat warning is in effect.

The Railroad in Sequim
History is everywhere around Sequim, but some of it can only be found at the museum, historical references and in the memories of our pioneers. Aside from our pioneers there is little to help us remember the trains that used to travel through Sequim.
The railroad reached Sequim in 1915 and carried passengers from Port Townsend and Port Angeles. With the arrival of the railroad, Sequim became the agricultural marketing center of the Peninsula. Passenger service was ended in 1931 and continued to carry freight until 1986, when the Milwaukee line abandoned the railroad and the tracks were removed. Today the Sequim Bypass follows part of the rail line through town and the Olympica Discovery Trail utilizes much of the former right-of-way.
