Mastodons roamed the plains of Sequim and Dungeness in the years
following the recession of the Cordilleran ice sheets. Millennia later,
the villages of S'Klallam were home to those who saw settlers
disembarking on the periphery of coastal wilderness. Ancient stands of
spruce, cedar, and fir fell in the 1800s, clearing the land for
agriculture. By the 1900s, the region exported wheat, potatoes, hay, and
oats and became prime dairy land. This compilation of historic
photographs illustrates the area's history from the 1800s to 1930 and is
complimented by information from archival documents sequestered in
historical collections throughout the Puget Sound and at the Museum and
Arts Archive in Sequim.
