Getting to the Faire Everyone comes to Sequim on U.S. Highway 101 (unless you are on the Coho ferry from Victoria). It is a busy weekend, so take your time and catch an early ferry if coming across the pond.
Arriving in town
You can go directly to your favorite farm or start at the Arts & Crafts Faire in the Park at Carrie Blake Park/James Center. Coming from the east on Highway 101 as you approach Sequim, exit onto Washington Street. At Blake Tile & Stone (QFC corner), turn right onto Blake Avenue. If you’re coming from the west, take the River Road exit into Sequim and turn right onto Washington Street. At the east end of Sequim, just past QFC, turn left onto Blake Avenue.
parking is conveniently located inside the park, near the booths and stage. There are some paths, but all of the booths are on the grass. To get to handicapped parking, use N. Rhodefer Road which will take you to the side entrance of the James Center. Only cars with handicap permits are allowed in the park. From Washington Street, N. Rhodefer Road is on the corner where the Sequim Visitor Information Center is located, the next street east of Blake Avenue (QFC). Go north, past where the pavement ends, then turn into the James Center driveway and show your handicap permit to the gate attendant.
