http://www.theseattletraveler.com/ head-to-sequim-for-the-irrigation-festival/
Discover the Treasure of Sequim at this year’s 113th Irrigation Festival. Pronounced “skwim” it is an Indian word for calm waters. The city is known for its mild climate, a location frequently referred to as Washington’s banana belt. It’s also famous for its Dungeness crab and lavendar crops surpasses only by those in France. The festival celebrates bringing irrigation from the Dungeness River to the prairie of Sequim. Folks believed the idea was crazy, but despite little money, harsh geography, and a doubting citizenry, the headgates to an irrigation ditch opened on May 1st, 1896, providing water to the community.
