Huge New Development on Sequim Bay
There might be a massive resort built on Sequim Bay, near Johnson Creek and the John Wayne Marina. The resort would be built on land owned by the Wayne family of Newport Beach, CA.
The proposed resort would consist of five subdivisions, a hotel with 74 units, 24 vacation cabins and a commercial strip.
With this area getting more crowded (especially Sequim) and home ownership being out of reach for more and more people, do we need a huge luxury resort? Without knowing a lot about this particular development (other than what was in today’s paper), it seems to me that this development will only exacerbate local crowding, traffic and gentrification, without solving any of those problems.
What say you?

The person who owns that property should be able to do what he wants with it. This is America.
Isn't that Jamestown S'Klallam tribe going to build a a multi-unit hotel in their casino facility?
This is a growing area, but I can't see more than one multi-unit hotel being viable right now. Still, it's a sign of the future ... developers are knocking on the door.
Too many of these newcomers are arrogant Californians or Seattle-ites who want to bring the city out here with them. These people need to stay where they are if this area isn't hip enough for them.
It's hip 2 b square
Between the crippling traffic on that part of 101 and the Californication factor, I hope they turn down that development. Or at least scale it way back.
Upgrade the Highway there from a second-rate mule trail, then add the development.
