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History is everywhere around Sequim, but some of it can only be found at the museum, historical references and in the memories of our pioneers.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.
