How much do you know about Bell Creek?

The City of Sequim Stormwater Stewardship Project and the Sequim High School Be the Change club launched the Bell Creek Discovery Tour in April to raise awareness of local Bell Creek. The walking or driving tour includes 10 educational stops from the headwaters to the mouth of the creek.

Participants can download an app on their smartphone from the project webpage (wa-sequim.civicplus.com/index.aspx?NID=676) or the project Facebook page (www.facebook.com/bellcreekdiscoverytour). A tour sheet, map and instructions also are available at a box outside of the city’s Interpretive Center at the Water Reuse Park, 500 N. Blake Ave.

Participants who answer the educational questions on Facebook or on the tour sheet by Memorial Day, May 25, are invited on an exclusive guided walk, picnic snacks included, across Washington Harbor at the mouth of Bell Creek to Port Williams beach and automatically will be entered into a raffle for dinner for four at Nourish Restaurant — picked for its location on Bell Creek.

“The idea for this tour came from conversations with Peggy McClure, a project volunteer who was taking a class in natural resources at the time,” Stormwater Stewardship project manager Ann Soule said. The class was the Citizens Action Training School hosted by the North Olympic Salmon Coalition and was held last fall.

“Peggy is incredibly creative and computer savvy, and has been very generous with her time in helping to get this off the ground,” Soule added.
