Sequim Gazette

In January 1974, Shirley and Bob Larmore launched the Sequim Shopper, a free publication that later evolved into a weekly community newspaper known as The Jimmy Come Lately Gazette in July of the same year. Following the sale of the paper and a redesign in 1990, the name was updated to the Sequim Gazette. Today, this newspaper is well-respected throughout Washington, having received General Excellence awards from the Washington Newspaper Publisher's Association from 2005 to 2008 and again in 2010. The Sequim area is famous for hosting the Lavender Weekend, which is the largest lavender festival in North America, as well as the Irrigation Festival, the oldest community festival in Washington state.
